Description
This is a new Bizen Nerikomi beer cup by Koji Nakahara, who studied under Fumio Kawabata and strives to create works suited to modern life.
Its defining feature is the marble-like, marbled clay surface, created by blending and high-firing more than a dozen different kinds of field clay.
Clays with different compositions and shrinkage rates are fitted together like puzzle pieces to form the vessel, and the resulting complex patterns and exceptionally smooth texture make it a piece you cannot help but want to pick up and use.
As mentioned above, the piece is built up in much the same way as assembling a puzzle, and for that reason the design itself has a uniquely constructed character, as if it were made from multiple joined parts. It is a wonderful expression of the skill and sensibility Nakahara has refined through both sculptural work and the making of functional vessels.
The vivid Hidasuki placed here and there also brings a fascinating variation to the marble-like surface, making this a superb beer cup in which clay texture, design, tactile quality, and usability are all beautifully balanced.
He was born in Osaka Prefecture in 1978.
He has been a disciple of Fumio Kawabata since 2001.
