Morikin Floral Arabesque Aochibu Incense Burner

The Morikin Floral Arabesque Aochibu Incense Burner is a masterwork where ancient techniques of morikin "raised gold" and aochibu "blue dots" converge in a fantastic display of artistry. The surface bursts into life with an array of delicate blue dots, meticulously applied with an icchin, a dispenser with a fine tip, showcasing an unparalleled level of dedication and precision. 

Adorned with delicately layered, petal-like hosoge, this exquisite floral pattern is a variant of arabesque that was widely used as a decorative design during Japan’s Nara (710–794 CE) and Heian periods (794–1185 CE). It is beautifully complemented by the gold embellishments of morikin, intricately applied to both the floral hosoge motifs and the flowing arabesque lines that gracefully wrap around the burner.

The dynamic visual rhythm created by the aochibu dots, enhanced by the depth and texture of morikin gold, showcases Nakada Kingyoku the Third's commitment to bridging traditional techniques with contemporary creativity. This incense burner offers a fresh perspective on timeless design, respecting the legacy of Kutani ware while pushing the boundaries of ceramic art with a bold spirit of innovation.

With its rounded silhouette, this piece has a gentle, welcoming presence. The pierced lid can be removed to add incense ash inside. While it functions beautifully as an incense burner, it also stands on its own as a decorative art piece—captivating from every angle when placed on its accompanying stand.
