{"product_id":"p6077","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, a creator of deeply tasteful works who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel potters Rokuro and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of these masters, this cup is quintessentially Kazuki, incorporating a unique flair in its style that sets it apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in October 2020, this latest creation features a silhouette that rises with a relaxed rhythm, inherited from his grandfather’s masterful wheel work, exuding an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of usability, the slightly constricted body fits perfectly between the thumb and index finger, while the well-defined foot firmly catches the middle finger, making it easier to hold than its appearance suggests.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cup showcases the vibrant scarlet hue characteristic of the Nakamura family; the front displays a vivid red that seems to seep from the very core of the clay, while the interior reveals hidden scarlet tones that emerge when wetted with sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece offers both a deeply artistic form and vibrant coloration, and will only grow more flavorful as it is polished by the sake with each use.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-crosspiece)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.6cm × 8.4cm × Height 3.6cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1980, the eldest son of Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Okayama University in 2003, he studied under his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, and his father, Shin Nakamura, to hone his pottery skills.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe fired his first kiln and became an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618708476001,"sku":"6077","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6077.jpg?v=1790240835","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6077","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
