Description

Makoto Nakamura is the eldest son of Rokuro Nakamura.
He faithfully reproduces the style of Rokuro Nakamura.
He is also skilled at making sake ware, just like Rokuro Nakamura.
This Guinomi was fired about 10 years ago.
The owner has taken good care of it and it is clean, though the clay surface shows signs of wear.
A characteristic of the Nakamura clan is their red clay color.
However, this piece was fired in such intense flames that it lost its red clay color.
The melted ash has solidified and transformed into the appearance of a black stone.
Only the sides of the body exhibit "Kasegoma" (dry, crusty kiln effects) due to the way the fire hit them.
The Kasegoma section retains the vivid red clay color typical of his work.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1949.
In 1971, he began an apprenticeship under his father, Rokuro Nakamura.
He became an independent ceramic artist in 1975.
