Please ask about shipping! I can meet you halfway!
Generally considered the best living Japanese potter for unglazed pots, Yukizyou Nakano, and his son-in-law, Yuuji Nakano, of the Gyouzan kiln,
They also produce some superb glazed pieces.
Yukizyou Nakano was born in 1940. He is referred to in Japan as 'Nakano 'Arukisan', or Nakano 'row three'.
He is a true master of his craft, and his pots display superb detail and refinement in their design and finish.
Drainage holes are often quirky in shape and arranged in patterns, and the undersides of the pots are finished with great attention to detail.
