The act of destructionNakamura Baizan left many masterpieces, having been highly appraised as an expert in tea pottery. His second son is Takuo Nakamura, who we interviewed. He is one of the leading ”Kutani-yaki” artists of today, having created ”his way” through years of creating his works. |
Expression made by coincidenceThe shape is formed by applying a traditional method called ”tatara”, pressing slab-shaped clay, and cutting pieces off. Takuo Nakamura told us, ”My job is discovering the exact moment an interesting shape or expression is made by coincidence.” |
City where artists and users co-exist”With my work, it’s good if people can play around with how they use it. Kanazawa is home to both artisans and the people who use the creations.” Nakamura told us. |
