Ichidai Nakamura中村一代
1970-
Constant progress is a major theme for me as a painter. The skillful techniques and techniques of Arita ware are the beautiful crystallization of the continuous challenge to create new challenges. The “ceramic canvas” that I am currently painting is a “new Arita ware” that was born based on the traditional techniques in the long history of ceramics and porcelain. I will continue to devote myself to ceramic painting, and I strongly hope that tradition will be connected to the future.
