{"product_id":"p6265","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a new Bizen guinomi (sake cup) by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the tradition of master sake-ware potters Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura, creating works of profound character.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these masters of sake-ware, this piece is distinctively Kazuki's, concealing a unique flair within its style that differs from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in April 2021, the gentle, rhythmic rise of the form, shaped with the potter's wheel skills inherited from his grandfather, emanates an exquisite allure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile cloaked in \"kase-goma\" (matte ash glaze) reminiscent of tree bark, the front reveals a beautiful scarlet hue, as if opening the folds of a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich scarlet clay texture, a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family, is remarkably beautiful. It is a joy both to behold and to use, and with continued use, its texture will grow even smoother, showcasing the immense potential of this piece as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDeparting from his previous guinomi forms, this piece features a \"sakazuki\" (shallow cup) style, offering a fresh experience even for those who already own works by Kazuki Nakamura.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.3cm x 8.1cm x Height 4.3cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, 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":46618714669153,"sku":"6265","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6265.jpg?v=1790241007","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6265","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
