Madara Chawan #33

Kota Tanaka, a disciple of the esteemed Karatsu ware artist Nakagawa Shizenbo, has developed his own distinctive approach, drawing inspiration from his mentor’s techniques. His style is notably more detailed compared to Nakagawa’s bold aesthetic. The name of his kiln, “Bochugama,” derived from the Bochu region, was created with input from Nakazato Takashi, who also personally inscribed the kiln mark still visible today. His wood-fired creations feature a bold and unique design, favored by notable establishments like the Ritz-Carlton Fukuoka, positioning him as a rising talent in Karatsu ware.
