Nakamura Rokuro(1914-2004) was the 'King of Shuki' for Bizen, meaning his sake cups and flasks were held in the highest esteem and avidly collected; any shuki collection worthy of the name must have a Nakamura piece, period. Nakamura studied with the first Bizen Living National Treasure Kaneshige Toyo. This guinomi dates to the 1970s and is a mini-jar type form that fits in the hand perfectly. The firing sees a purple body tone flecked with sesame goma fly-ash on the body, around the lip and a fine covering in the 'pool.' In perfect condition with a signed box, 6cm.tall and 6.5cm.wide, signed on base.
