It is a pleasure both to behold and to use; as it is seasoned over time, its texture will become even smoother, possessing tremendous potential as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\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 dedication to sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWith signed paulownia wood box (shiho-zan)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.2cm x 8.2cm x Height 5.4cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, as the eldest son of Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\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\nHe fired his first kiln and became an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618728661089,"sku":"6937","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6937.jpg?v=1790241435","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6937","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
