{"product_id":"p6221","title":"Bizen sake bottle","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen yohen sake flask by Kazuki Nakamura, a creator of profound works who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile following in the footsteps of these masters of sake vessel making, this flask is quintessentially Kazuki, concealing a unique character in its style that differs from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, freshly taken from the kiln in April 2021, is a masterpiece that pairs a charming form with a magnificent haikaburi (ash-covered) yohen effect.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt has been fired to the very brink of where the signature Nakamura family scarlet clay body would disappear, allowing one to enjoy a deep, dark haikaburi yohen alongside the scarlet hue.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough the vivid scarlet has faded, the intense firing has produced a metallic gold sheen in its place, creating a contrast between the uniquely orange-glowing clay and the dull, black-silver glint of the yohen.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Kazuki often favors turnip or triangular shapes for his sake flasks, this piece features a rare, bottom-heavy form, reflecting a clear intention to push beyond what he inherited from Rokuro and Shin.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a flask with a magnificent landscape that will truly make drinking sake a joy from the very day it arrives in your hands.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (please note that it will take some time before shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.4cm × Body 9.8cm × Body 9.7cm × Height 11.5cm Capacity approx. 380cc\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1980 as 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":46618711621729,"sku":"6221","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6221.jpg?v=1790240963","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6221","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
