Description

This is a new Bizen Dragon Guinomi by Koji Nakahara, who studied under Fumio Kawabata and strives to create works suited to modern life.

The entire surface is carved with a dragon motif, and by treating the guinomi itself as a single sky, the viewer can enjoy the majestic figure of a dragon drifting calmly through a sea of clouds.

The dragon has been carefully carved out of a thickly formed vessel, and the intricate details of the scales, claws, and whiskers are nothing short of remarkable.

Although the piece is thickly formed, the balance and feel in the hand have been thoughtfully adjusted throughout. Despite its bold design, it feels light and sits very comfortably in the hand.

This is a work finished with the gold-toned effects that Nakahara is known for achieving in an electric kiln. The upper part shows a metallic sheen reminiscent of copper, while the lower part displays a matte black fire effect, similar to his Susogo series.

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