The "Karatsu Bowl" by the fourth generation Touichi Nakano is a magnificent work that fully utilizes the earthy texture and the beauty of the glaze unique to Karatsu-yaki. Its impressive size, with a diameter of 36.5cm, transforms the atmosphere of a space just by being placed on a table, exuding an overwhelming presence. The pine motif painted on the inside of the bowl, in the style of E-Karatsu, combines strength and expansiveness, with a dynamic brushstroke that feels like a gust of wind blowing through. The pine tree has been a symbol of longevity and prosperity since ancient times, and as a design that combines high class and auspiciousness, it adds a fitting touch to tea ceremonies and celebratory occasions. This large bowl, imbued with the solid techniques and aesthetic sense unique to the fourth generation Touichi Nakano, boasts an overwhelming presence not only for appreciation but also as a practical vessel. It is a must-see masterpiece for Karatsu-yaki fans, tea ceremony practitioners, and those who want to elevate their space. ★Dimensions★ Diameter: 36.5cm Height: 8.5cm Thank you for viewing.
