Kazuyoshi Kitamura of the Kutani ware Chikuryu kiln not only creates traditional works, but also creates many innovative products such as sneakers, rhinoceros beetles, and false nails based on traditional techniques, conveying the diverse appeal of Kutani ware. ``I want to convey the charm of Kutani ware with an impact,'' he says.
This piece is also produced using traditional Kutani ware techniques. The pattern also utilizes traditional Kutani patterns and adds color using a patchwork-like technique. A traditional color known as Kutani Gosai is mixed with boiled seaweed to create a three-dimensional feel and enhance the texture. In addition, the careful and glittering handiwork shines throughout, including the use of real gold. The bicycle is a custom made product made by Takaoka Copperware. It is extremely difficult to make it to match the bicycle. It's adorable to see a cute frog riding a bicycle without jumping, with its muffler waving. The back view is also surprisingly cute.
A special acrylic case for display purposes is included, so it won't get covered in dust.
Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Japan Mastery Collection, a regional revitalization luxury brand originating from Japan, opened on December 22nd, and works are also exhibited there, making it a great success as a standard-bearer for Japan's leading Kutani ware artists. It's inside.
This is the work of Japan Kutani Kazuyoshi Kitamura, who continues to fascinate the world.
He is an author who will be attracting a lot of attention in the future.
