{"product_id":"p5142","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, a creator of profound works who follows in the lineage of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura. While inheriting the traditions of these masters, the cup bears the unmistakable signature of Kazuki-sensei, incorporating a unique flair into his style that distinguishes it from that of his father and grandfather. This latest work, fired in June, features the popular flat-cup shape highly regarded among sake connoisseurs. It was fired by being inverted and covered with another vessel, resulting in a black-silver ash-covered kiln transformation (hai-kaburi yohen) centered around the foot. On the interior, the signature scarlet clay texture of the Nakamura family is overlaid with a faint golden sheen—likely a result of the covering firing technique—which, combined with the scarlet earth, creates a mysterious, pearl-like hue. Kazuki-sensei has firmly inherited his grandfather’s techniques, and the refined workmanship of the rim and foot is truly captivating.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat) \u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.9cm x 8.8cm x Height 3.2cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Shin Nakamura.
