In Japan, Sakaida Kizaemon (1596-1666) perfected the technique of decorating high-fired porcelain with colorful enamels based on the Chinese example. Sakaida was awarded the name Kakiemon in recognition of his skill in achieving the orange-red color of the kaki (persimmon). Kakiemon's milky white porcelain was also unique. Before falling out of fashion around 1760, Kakiemon porcelain was largely exported to Europe, where it influenced pottery-making at kilns in Meissen in Germany, Chantilly in France, and Chelsea in England.
