Master Craftsman, Nidaime (Second Generation) Nakada Gyokudo Works by Nakada Gyokudo, showcasing the "Morikin Aotsubu Gafu" style, one of the representative techniques of Kutani ware. The second-generation Gyokudo established the Morikin Aotsubu Gafu as one of the representative painting styles of Kutani ware through his unique Morikin (raised gold) and Aotsubu (blue grain) techniques. The works display the dazzling expression of Kutani ware and the exquisite, meticulous handiwork. The pieces from the Showa era have a better texture compared to modern gold, paints, and brushes, giving the works a sense of weight. The works of the second-generation Gyokudo are valuable masterpieces.
