Height: 5.2 cm
Diameter: 7.5 cm

Hiroshi Nakashima established a kiln at the local Yumino Ancient Kiln site, and his original works, known as "Nakashima Celadon," have received high praise and numerous awards, including the "Japan Ceramic Art Association Award," leading to his designation as a Living National Treasure. While drawing inspiration from Chinese ceramics, he never simply imitated them, as evidenced by the profound sense of dignity in his work.

This piece is a treasure among contemporary ceramics, rivaling Chinese pottery, and is a rare masterpiece created in his final years.
