Description: Product Description Timeless Mastery by Artisan Kingyoku Product Description This Kutani-yaki white chawan (tea bowl) is not just a stunning piece of craftsmanship, but a testament to the enduring artistry of Nakata Kingyoku, a third-generation master whose dedication to traditional techniques elevates each creation to something truly exceptional. The chawan exemplifies Kingyoku's mastery of the Aochibu technique, with tiny white dots meticulously arranged by hand. These dots expand outward in perfect concentric circles, resembling fireworks, drawing the viewer into the heart of the design. This thoughtful arrangement is a testament to Kingyoku’s precision and artistry, creating a piece that captivates with its subtle depth and movement. Equally mesmerizing is the use of the Morikin technique, where gold patterns are carefully applied over raised surfaces. The brushwork in this piece is so precise and fluid that one cannot help but be drawn in by the elegance of each stroke, enhancing the overall composition. The union of Aochibu and Morikin in this chawan speaks not only to the technical prowess of Kingyoku but also to his deep understanding of harmony and beauty. A piece destined to transcend time The care, attention, and artistry that have gone into this chawan are not only immediately evident, but they also ensure that this piece will be cherished for generations to come. With each passing year, works of this caliber by a master artisan such as Kingyoku are likely to grow in both esteem and value, offering not just a momentary appreciation but a lasting legacy in the world of Japanese ceramics.
