A representative Bizen ware potter, he is a member of the Japan Crafts Association Chugoku Branch, the Bizen Ware Tomoyukai, and the Traditional Craftsmen Association. He is said to drink one sho of sake a day, and as a big fan of alcohol, he puts extra effort into creating sake cups.
He studied under Kaneshige Toyo and, under his strict teachings, demonstrated outstanding taste and an extraordinary passion for sake ware, which surpassed all others. This is an excellent work by the popular artist Nakamura Rokuro, who is nicknamed the "God of Sake Ware" and has left behind many masterpieces.
This is an exceptionally beautiful sake cup, with the red color of the base, also known as the "scarlet color of the Nakamura family," and the kumadori (the lines of the kiln changes) clearly visible.
