Imaizumi Imaemon XIII was a [[porcelain]] artist from [[Arita]] in [[Saga prefecture]]. He was named a [[Living National Treasure]] in 1989.
The inheritor of a long tradition of [[Arita wares]], Imaizumi also innovated, adapting the traditional ''fukizumi'' technique of creating splatter designs in cobalt blue into his own signature ''usuzumi'' technique, employing a brown uranium oxide pigment.
He was succeeded by his second son, who became Imaizumi Imaemon XIV. Born in 1963, Imaemon XIV is a graduate of Musashino Art University.
