Nakada Kingyoku Morikin Grape Pattern Aochibu Drawstring Bag Shaped Vase

The drawstring bag-shaped vase expertly combines the morikin "raised gold" and aochibu "blue dots" techniques. This exquisite piece captivates with its intricate design featuring a black base color that serves as a canvas for the mesmerizing blue dot swirl pattern, applied with precision above the base. The elegance of this design is further enhanced by the addition of platinum and gold grape patterns, showcasing a dedication to both beauty and detail, and elevating the vase with an air of sophistication and delicate charm.

Nakada Kingyoku the Third's work, characterized by the dynamic visual rhythm of aochibu and shirochibu “white dots” and the depth of morikin gold, masterfully combines traditional techniques with contemporary creativity. Drawing inspiration from the Rimpa School's philosophy, which places equal value on the beauty and intentionality of space and detailed design, Nakada skillfully integrates this concept into his work. Allowing the presence of space to not only enhance the dignity and elegance of the final piece but also to bridge the gap between traditional aesthetics and modern artistic expression.
