Murakami Brothers

Golden Phoenix

¥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 phoenix rises amid delicate florals, wings outstretched, flame-like feathers shimmering with quiet power. In the paired tradition, the phoenix carries beauty, resilience and rebirth — poise born from fire.
