    Satoshi Kurinuki

    Where Bitcoin’s Scarcity Meets the Ancestral Fire of Clay

    The Story

    At the heart of Bitcoin, where scarcity is a founding principle, I created Satoshi Kurinuki: an artisanal collection of 21 pieces, echoing the 21 million Bitcoins.
    After years working in digital art and blockchain, I discovered pottery two years ago.
    The encounter with clay, fire, and time was a revelation.
    This collection is the fusion point between my two worlds.

    Raw Blocks — Before Fire

    Like unconfirmed Bitcoin blocks, the pieces began as raw matter — fragile, unfinished, waiting for transformation.
    I carved each pot by hand using the Japanese kurinuki technique, hollowing solid blocks of clay.
    This raw state is proof of the process: a testimony of time, patience, and the vulnerability before permanence.

    21 Unique, Handcrafted Pieces

    • Shaped entirely by hand.
    • Fired to Cone 7 (1280°C).
    • Glazed with my own recipes, with over 50% ash sourced from my fireplace.
    • Irregular surfaces and unpredictable finishes — no two are ever alike, like the singularity of each Bitcoin block.

    From Fire to the Blockchain

    Each pot is tied to a certificate of authenticity inscribed on Bitcoin via Ordinals.
    The inscription includes:

    • A high-resolution photograph in the form of a trading card.
    • Technical and visual details unique to the piece.

    Owning the Ordinal = owning both the physical work and its immutable trace on the Bitcoin blockchain.

    Digital Archaeology

    By inscribing these pieces on Bitcoin, they become contemporary artifacts:
    testaments to our era at the intersection of craftsmanship, technology, and the philosophy of Satoshi Nakamoto.

    A Bridge Between Tradition and Innovation

    The Satoshi Kurinuki project does more than connect past and future.
    It is an exploration of value:

    • ARTISANAL — in the uniqueness of every piece.
    • DIGITAL — in their immutable inscription on Bitcoin.
    • PHILOSOPHICAL — honoring Satoshi Nakamoto, the architect of digital scarcity.

    Absolute Scarcity

    Only 21 pieces — never to be reproduced.

    Once they have found their collectors, they will leave my hands forever.

  • New Punks On The Block

    New Punks On The Block

    No harmonies. No choreography.
    Just pixels falling apart.

    I took some Bitcoin Punks.
    Not to steal them.
    But to make them short-circuit.

    I glitched them.
    Not to make them pretty.
    But to make them scream.

    I’m not the author.
    I’m the glitch.

    I sign nothing.
    I claim nothing.
    I distort. I disturb. I dissolve.

    The author evaporates.

    Not just in art. Everywhere.
    In music. In code. In the street.
    You publish → you vanish.

    I let the protocol speak instead of me.

    Each block is a beat. A jolt.

    It shifts the work.
    It removes more of me.
    It lets something else live in my place.

    I’m no longer here.
    Only the noise remains.

    That’s what New Punks On The Block is.

    Not a tribute.
    Not a quote.
    A contamination.

  • Satoshi

    Satoshi

    Dorian Nakamoto, unwillingly turned into the mask of a revolution.

    I took that endlessly remixed face. Dorian Nakamoto’s. Mistakenly named, turned into a meme.
    Not to say he is Satoshi, but because the glitch is there. In the confusion. The shift.
    Each piece is a fragment of glitched identity: glitches, gifs, code, grids, pulses, networks.
    It’s a visual autopsy of the icon. A feedback loop of what we project, who we want to believe.

    I never looked for Satoshi. I just watched his image mutate.

  • Mona Kamoto

    Mona Kamoto

    Satoshi, forever glitched in the pop mirror of the Renaissance.

    I hijacked Dorian Nakamoto’s face like a mask.
    Not to say he’s Satoshi. More because doubt froze his face into legend.
    I merged his portrait with the Mona Lisa. Like a museum-grade deepfake, overloaded with 90s relics, laser eyes, joints, glitches, and bullshit.

    No need to believe. Just glitch.

    It’s a crooked tribute to crypto aesthetics, meme chaos, and the toxic beauty of Web3.
