White Morikin Shirochibu Dragon
The White Morikin Shirochibu Dragon by Nakada Kingyoku, a porcelain masterpiece that elevates the traditional Kutani ware to a depiction of sublime elegance and majesty. The sculpture, with its refined white base, showcases the exquisite application of the shirochibu technique, where white dots create a serene and sophisticated pattern across the dragon’s body. These carefully placed dots enhance the dragon’s form with a delicate luminescence, bringing to light its elegant curves and majestic posture with a refined touch.
Elevating this piece to a realm of graceful majesty are the sakura blossoms, symbols of delicate beauty and ephemeral life, adorning the dragon. Rendered in platinum, the petals shimmer with a subtle luminance against the white porcelain, creating an interplay of light and texture that captivates and enchants. The branches, depicted in rich gold, weave through the dragon’s form, offering a stark yet harmonious contrast that underscores the sculpture’s elegance.
