{"product_id":"p2897","title":"Bizen triangular sake bottle","description":"This Bizen sake flask is the work of Shin Nakamura, a renowned creator of sake vessels and tableware and the eldest son of the late Rokuro Nakamura, a master craftsman of Bizen sake sets. It is a stunning piece that exhibits a vibrant scarlet hue reminiscent of a ripened fruit—a color so magnificent it is hard to believe it originated from the same plain, light-gray raw clay. The flask was fired with the base facing the fire, positioned in the path of the smoke, resulting in a lively surface adorned with ash glazes, scarlet \"hi-iro\" tones, and matte \"kase-goma\" sesame-like textures. True to its nickname, the \"melon skin\" texture is deeply influenced by the reddish clay, giving the entire piece a distinctively ruddy appearance akin to a Yubari melon.\n\nOriginal wooden box (four-way sliding lid included)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.9cm x Body diameter 9.5cm x 9.5cm x Height 11.2cm; Capacity: approx. 320cc\n\nBorn as the eldest son of Rokuro Nakamura, Shin Nakamura began his training under his father in 1971, where he mastered the fundamentals and honed his technical skills. To further his expertise in the firing techniques associated with Living National Treasure Toyo Kaneshige, he also spent ten years assisting and receiving guidance from Michiaki Kaneshige with kiln firing. He became independent in 1975. He focuses on tea ceramics and tableware, while also creating flower vases, sake flasks, and sake cups. He actively holds solo exhibitions across Japan, including in Tokyo, Okayama, and Nagoya.","brand":"中村 真","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618513408097,"sku":"2897","price":42000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/2897.jpg?v=1790237009","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p2897","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
