Many Expressions, One Artist – Sake Ware by Nobuyuki Kimura
Ceramic artist Nobuyuki Kimura reveals a remarkable range of expression through his collection of sake ware. Created by the hands of a single artist, each guinomi possesses its own character, inviting us to discover the breadth of his approach to clay and glaze.
Kimura is known for his oil-spot Tenmoku, with its deep, lustrous surface and shimmering patterns. Equally captivating are his celadon works, where delicate kan-nyu crackles spread across the softly coloured glaze, creating a quiet sense of depth and refinement.
Though made as sake cups, these intimate vessels can also be enjoyed as tea cups, allowing their varied textures and forms to become part of different daily rituals.
A limited selection of Nobuyuki Kimura’s sake ware is now available at HULS Gallery Duxton Hill.
