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.
In Bizen, he studies Bizen ware under his mentor, Fumio Kawabata.
Toutai refers to pieces of lacquered pottery.
Red lacquer is applied to the surface of the Bizen ware, creating a bright yet understated carmine hue.
The platinum-like areas are created using a technique called "Byakudan-nuri" (sandalwood lacquer painting).
He applies a thin layer of silver foil covered with lacquer to achieve the platinum appearance.

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