{"product_id":"p6765","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired Bizen sake cup (guinomi) by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of master sake-ware potters Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura, creating works with profound depth.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile following in the footsteps of these masters, this sake cup reflects Kazuki’s own unique style, infusing his work with a distinct character that sets it apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in October 2022, this latest piece features a relaxed, rhythmic rise shaped by the potter's wheel—a skill inherited from his grandfather—that radiates an exquisite allure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdorned with a \"kase-goma\" (dry, bark-like ash glaze) that resembles 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 body, a secret of the Nakamura family, is stunningly beautiful. It is a delight both to view and to use, and as it is seasoned through use, its surface texture will grow even smoother, marking it as a piece with immense potential as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the undulating, rhythmic rim to the triangular shaved foot, he has magnificently inherited the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through his lifelong appreciation of fine sake.\n\nSigned wooden box (Nihō-san) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.2cm x 8.0cm x Height 5.0cm\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":46618723713121,"sku":"6765","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6765.jpg?v=1790241377","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6765","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
