{"product_id":"p5011","title":"Bizen Gourd-Shaped Sake Bottle","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired Bizen gourd-shaped sake bottle by Kazuki Nakamura, a creator of profound works who follows in the footsteps of the legendary sake ware masters Rokuro and Makoto Nakamura. While inheriting the lineage of these masters, this bottle bears Kazuki’s unique signature style, infusing his work with a distinct character that sets it apart from his father and grandfather. Clad in a rugged, intense *kase-goma* (crusty ash glaze), it reveals beautiful flashes of scarlet—much like the opening of a kimono—at key points such as the front and neck. The rich, scarlet-hued clay body, a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family, is breathtakingly beautiful; it is a piece that delights both the eye and the hand, possessing immense potential as a sake vessel that will only grow smoother and more refined with time. Within the powerful, rustic style characteristic of the Nakamura family, one can discern a unique allure and elegance that tickles the heart of any true drinker, suggesting that, despite his youth, he is already beginning to radiate a mature charm that rivals his grandfather Rokuro’s.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-braced)\u003cbr\u003e\nMouth diameter 3.0cm × Body diameter 11.0cm × Body diameter 10.9cm × Height 13.3cm, Capacity approx. 330cc\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Makoto Nakamura.
