{"product_id":"p6747","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"This is a brand new Bizen sake cup (guinomi) fresh from the kiln by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the tradition of master sake-ware potters Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura to create deeply expressive works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these masters, Kazuki-sensei imbues his work with a unique character that sets it apart from the styles of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest piece, taken from the kiln in October 2022, features a gentle, rhythmic silhouette achieved through pottery wheel techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile draped in a dry, crusty \"kase-goma\" ash glaze reminiscent of tree bark, the front reveals a beautiful scarlet \"hi-iro\" hue, much like opening the folds of a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich, scarlet clay body—a secret of the Nakamura family—is breathtakingly beautiful. Not only is it a delight to behold and use, but it also possesses immense potential as a sake vessel, as its texture will grow increasingly smooth with use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the rhythmically undulating rim to the powerfully carved foot, he has masterfully inherited the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through his lifelong devotion to sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm x 7.9cm x Height 5.4cm\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 ceramic 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":46618722697313,"sku":"6747","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6747.jpg?v=1790241363","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6747","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
