Bizen sake cup

This is a Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of masters Rokuro Nakamura and Makoto Nakamura to create works of profound character. The piece features a slightly dark, scarlet hue that appears highly receptive to sake, blended with a subtle, dark ash glaze. The interior displays a uniquely soft, earthy texture, with delicate colors characteristic of true earthenware that are sure to captivate the owner. By the time the sharp, refined qualities of the piece begin to evolve and mellow through the influence of the sake, you will find yourself completely enthralled by the world of Kazuki Nakamura.
