Ueda Naokata V (1928–2016) was the fifth-generation successor of a renowned Shigaraki pottery lineage. Trained by his father, Ueda Naokata IV, a master of tea bowls, he carried forward the family's legacy with his own distinct vision. His tea caddies are particularly celebrated for their subtly nuanced ash glazes and cylindrical forms, showing the essence of wabi-sabi—perfectly suited for the Japanese tea ceremony.
