Born as the eldest son to father 3rd generation Nakamura Donen, and mother 4th generation Nakamura Donen, who disciplined him in ceramics techniques . After graduating from college, in 1990, he studied under Shigetoshi Nakazato of Karatsu-ware for 2 years. He returned two years later in 1992, got involved at the Yagoto kiln and started making pottery whilst assisting his 4th generation. He held a ‘parent-child exhibition’ together with Ama Donen at the Maruzen Gallery in Nagoya. He succeeded to the name of 5th Nakamura Donen in 2001, and held solo exhibitions commemorating his naming in various department stores etc., and developed work that combined his modern sense with the Koetsu-style raku-ware that is his family’s art.
