{"product_id":"p5007","title":"Bizen Beer Drinker","description":"This is a brand new Bizen beer cup, fresh from the kiln, created by Shin Nakamura—the eldest son of the late, legendary Bizen master Rokuro Nakamura, and a renowned artisan of sake and tableware in his own right. The cylindrical form, inherited from his father, captures a natural, earthy distortion and flow within a simple shape, evoking a truly rustic warmth. At the same time, the rim and foot have been meticulously finished, reflecting the thoughtful attention to detail one expects from a seasoned master like Shin. Although it lacks kiln-alteration effects (yohen)—almost as if it were a test of the clay's inherent properties—the firing has produced a rich, mellow scarlet hue reminiscent of a ripened persimmon, a color so magnificent that it makes you long to use the piece immediately.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.6cm × Diameter 7.7cm × Height 10.1cm\n\nShin Nakamura was born as the eldest son of Rokuro Nakamura and began training under his father in 1971, building a solid foundation in the craft. To further study the firing techniques of Living National Treasure Toyo Kaneshige, he spent ten years assisting Michiaki Kaneshige with kiln firings under his tutelage. He became independent in 1975. He specializes in tea ceramics and tableware, while also crafting flower vases, sake bottles (tokkuri), and sake cups (sake-nomi). He holds frequent solo exhibitions across Japan, including in Tokyo, Okayama, and Nagoya.","brand":"中村 真","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618667483233,"sku":"5007","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5007.jpg?v=1790239730","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p5007","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
