Murakami Brothers

Golden Dragon

¥150,000

Two Dragon and Phoenix sets are made each year at Genki Kōbō, the Murakami family kiln in Arita. When a year's pair is spoken for, the next must wait for the following year.

The dragon coils amid intricate florals, its gaze fierce, its presence commanding. In the paired tradition, the dragon carries authority, intelligence and guardianship — presence with purpose.
