Also known as Nakazato Muan, Nakazato Toraemon XII (1895–1985) was a Living National Treasure and the 12th generation of the Nakazato Toraemon kiln. He succeeded his father as the 12th generation Tarouemon in 1927, and in 1928, he reconstructed the Ochawan kiln that had been used since the feudal government era and built a new downdraft style coal kiln. He revitalized his family kiln, which over several generations, fell into disrepair. Not only did he bring his family kiln back to life, he also brought Karatsu ware into contemporary audiences.
He was among the first group of ceramicist Living National Treasures to be designated, alongside Hamada Shoji and Tomimoto Kenkichi in 1955, and has received numerous accolades, including Medal with Purple Ribbon in 1967, the Fourth Class Order of the Sacred Treasure in 1969 and the Western Japan Culture Award in 1970.
“Mukozuke” is a term referring to a deep bowl used for serving side dishes in the traditional Japanese meal, Kaiseki. Dishes such as Chawanmushi, or broths may be served in this cup. The bowl is also used in the course preceding Matcha drinking, in the Japanese tea ceremony. This set of cups can be used both as mukozuke and yunomi.
