Description

Koji Nakahara is a potter who works in two locations, Osaka and Bizen.
He is commissioned to create bespoke tableware for a famous restaurant in Osaka.
Meanwhile, in Bizen, he is learning about Bizen ware from his mentor, Fumio Kawabata.
Totai refers to pieces of lacquered pottery.
Red lacquer is applied to the surface of the Bizen ware; it is vibrant, yet has a carmine hue that is not overly flashy.
The golden portion is created using a technique called "Byakudan painting."
He applies a thin layer of silver foil with lacquer over the top to achieve a golden appearance.

He was born in Osaka Prefecture in 1978.
He has been a disciple of Fumio Kawabata since 2001.
