Based in the Karatsu region, Kenta Nakazato is the third-generation potter of Ryuta Kiln, known for its refined interpretation of classic Karatsu ware. His work balances sophistication with restraint, preserving the quiet elegance long associated with the tradition.
For centuries, Karatsu ware has been closely connected to tea culture and fine cuisine, valued for its warmth and understated beauty at the table. Nakazato continues this legacy by creating ceramics that serve the food as much as the experience of the guests.
