A striking bonsaipot by Yukizou Nakano, coated in a mottled blue glaze that displays multiple shades. The colors intensify and subtly fade across the body, creating a vibrant and deep effect. Its silhouette corresponds to the Ken-mokko-gata shape: an elegant quince blossom reinterpreted with delicate sword-like points (ken) that trace the lip's contour, adding dynamism and character to the piece. Yukizou Nakano, Gyozan. TTokoname. It has a small repair with metallic paint imitating kintsugi (gold).
