{"product_id":"p5826","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, a potter who creates deeply evocative works while carrying on the tradition of the master sake vessel craftsmen, Rokuro and Makoto Nakamura. While inheriting the lineage of these masters, this sake cup bears Kazuki's unique signature, subtly infusing a style distinct from that of his father and grandfather. It is a deeply refined piece that perfectly inherits the charm of the unique flat sake cups characteristic of the Nakamura family, which are highly prized among sake enthusiasts. It features what is known as \"suana\" kiln transformation, with a bright gray ash coating and a \"katamigawari\" (half-and-half) split effect against the scarlet clay body. The front side features the signature \"nuke\" (clear patch) essential to the Nakamura style, while the beautiful scarlet clay body, brought to life by exquisite firing, is truly eye-catching. It is a work where powerful firing and soft clay tones coexist, and one that will only grow in flavor the more it is polished through use with sake.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.8cm × Diameter 8.5cm × Height 3.4cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Makoto Nakamura. After graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Okayama University in 2003, he studied under his grandfather and father to refine his ceramic techniques. He fired his first kiln and became an independent potter in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618690486369,"sku":"5826","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5826.jpg?v=1790240585","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p5826","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
