Ceramics with the Beautiful Pearlish Luster
Hiroshi Nakada is a ceramic artist known for ceramics with sophisticated forms and pearlish luster. Although he uses clay for Kutani ware, he does not use the multi-colored overglaze enamels usually used for decorating Kutani ware, but uses his original technique called "Shinju Kosai (pearl luster)" where he draws thin delicate stripe patterns with pearl glaze that create a matte luster. Pearl glaze on the white porcelain base. These two different textures of white create an elegant brilliance that changes depending on the angle you see the vessel from. He received the Tokyo Governor Award at the Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2020, and is gaining attention domestically and internationally.
