*''Born: [[1873]]''
*''Died: 1956, February 20''
Tokuda Yasokichi I was a Japanese ceramics artist credited with the revival of the [[Edo period]] [[Kutani]] style of [[porcelain]] works, which went into decline in the [[Meiji period]]. Though Yasokichi was named a "holder of [[Intangible Cultural Property]]" in 1953, he lost that designation the following year when the country's cultural protections frameworks were reorganized, and died before he could be inducted into the new system as a "[[Living National Treasure]]" in 1956.
His grandson, Tokuda Yasokichi III, was named a Living National Treasure in 1997.
