{"product_id":"p6579","title":"Bizen triangular sake bottle","description":"This is a freshly kiln-fired Bizen triangular sake bottle by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to create deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of master sake vessel creators, this bottle is quintessentially Kazuki—incorporating a unique, distinct flair into his style that sets him apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, just removed from the kiln in April 2022, and is a masterpiece that takes the classic triangular sake bottle shape passed down from Rokuro Nakamura and dresses it in a sophisticated, rustic *kase-goma* (dry sesame) ash glaze.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile it features a more intensely fired, exceptionally rustic *kase-goma* than usual, the front retains a hint of scarlet, offering an intriguing clay texture with a subtle gradation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt holds onto that final trace of scarlet like a waning moon just before it disappears during a new moon, allowing you to enjoy the intensity of the firing while still appreciating the signature scarlet hues of the Nakamura family.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThough it follows the traditional triangular form, the waist is indented one step further, allowing the thumb to fit perfectly for an exceptionally smooth pour.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a magnificent sake bottle with a scenery that will make drinking truly enjoyable from the very day it arrives in your hands.\n\nIncludes signed wooden box (shiho-san).\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.3cm x Body 9.7cm x Body 9.5cm x Height 11.5cm; Capacity approx. 300cc\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 techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first independent kiln firing in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618057637985,"sku":"6579","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6579.jpg?v=1790231655","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6579","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
