Gumpu Nakamura

When he was a graduate student at Kanazawa University, he studied casting and painting at his home, where he inherited gurgoya burning technology. After 10 years of work, he began to publish his own works.

From the previous generation of Nakamura Cuihashi (ishikawa Prefecture designated intangible cultural heritage, a participant in the day exhibition) and the third generation of Tokuda 80yoshi (human national treasure).

The Nakamura family is the family with the longest history in Jiugu burning. It is the vassal who created Jiugu burning about 350 years ago and the only designated imperial kiln of maeda family. Nakamura Yuanfeng in the inheritance of the ancient nine valley burning traditional colorful porcelain at the same time, the colorful development into their own solo techniques "FUKURATE" "Zen nine valley", with a new language to achieve their own continuous pursuit of art. He was the first person in the world who successfully fired transparent and three-dimensional glazed figures on pure white porcelain.

In particular, among the five colors of red, yellow, green, dark blue and purple, the red glaze has been historically regarded as impossible to be transparent because of its opaque and non-vitreous characteristics. And nakamura Yuan wind will succeed in the red glaze color transparency, made a great contribution.

In this way, all 5 colors can be represented in a transparent glaze, which means that with the three primary colors, an infinite number of colors can be produced.

In this respect, Nakamura yuanfeng is the completion of the colorful.

In particular, "FUKURATE" works, which are highly integrated with the charm of color, texture and three-dimensional sense rather than simply depicting paintings and patterns, are considered to have opened up a new era of painted porcelain.
