A distinctive sculptural object by female artist, Mukai Naoko. Created in 2024, the piece carries subtle echoes of living organisms—an expression rooted in Mukai’s lifelong fascination with the natural world. The evenly arranged, gold‑shimmering points catch the sunlight and glisten beautifully, enhancing the work’s organic presence. The work comes housed in an original wooden box signed by the artist. It measures 20 x 20 x 15 cm (7 7/8 × 7 7/8 × 5 7/8 inches) and was obtained directly from her studio at the end of 2025. The condition is excellent.
Mukai Naoko was born in Tokyo in 1999, and graduated from Musashino Art University in 2023 with a degree in Crafts and Industrial Design, specializing in ceramics, and completed the Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center in 2025. Representing a new generation of ceramic artists, her work has already been presented internationally and domestically, including Talking Flowers at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague (2022), ishoken: A New Wind at Nihombashi Takashimaya (Tokyo, 2024), and Alluring Forms at Gallery Voice (Tajimi, 2025). In 2025, she was selected for the 6th Kanazawa World Crafts Triennale at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, marking her emergence onto a broader contemporary craft stage.
