{"product_id":"p6621","title":"Bizen Yohen Sake Bottle","description":"This is a new Bizen yohen sake bottle by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who creates works of profound depth, following in the footsteps of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these masters, this piece is quintessentially Kazuki, subtly incorporating a unique style distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in April 2022, this masterpiece features the sublime \"hi-iro\" (scarlet) inherited from Rokuro Nakamura, adorned with a magnificent \"kase\" (matte) kiln transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMaintaining the beautiful scarlet characteristic of the Nakamura family, he has aimed for a rich ash-covered kiln transformation; the exquisite firing allows one to enjoy both the superb scarlet and the dense, silver-black ash glaze simultaneously.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, perhaps due to the whim of a drunken kiln god, the lower left section has shifted distinctly into \"kase goma\" (matte sesame glaze).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe firing of the scarlet in the center changes as if a line were drawn, creating a fascinating effect, as if another kase goma sake bottle had been joined to it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form, honed under the guidance of these master craftsmen, exudes dignity, making this a spectacular bottle that will make your daily drinking truly enjoyable from the moment it is in your hands.\n\nIncludes signed wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.5cm x Body diameter 9.7cm x Body diameter 9.6cm x Height 11.9cm, Capacity approx. 380cc\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":46618058522721,"sku":"6621","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6621.jpg?v=1790231694","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6621","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
