{"product_id":"p6951","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a brand new Bizen sake cup, freshly out of the kiln, created by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the tradition of his grandfather, the master sake vessel maker Rokuro Nakamura, and his father, Shin Nakamura, to produce pieces of profound depth.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these master craftsmen, Kazuki infuses his own unique aesthetic into his work, distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFreshly out of the kiln in April 2023, this latest work features an elegant silhouette born from wheel-throwing techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWrapped in a \"kase-goma\" (dry, bark-like ash glaze), 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 Nakamura family secret—is stunningly beautiful. Not only is it a delight to behold and use, but its texture will grow smoother and more refined with time, possessing immense potential as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Kazuki often produces larger sake cups, this piece features a rare, shallow sakazuki (cup) shape, allowing you to enjoy the marvelous qualities of Nakamura Bizen in a perfectly sized serving.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.3cm x 8.3cm x Height 4.1cm\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":46618728988769,"sku":"6951","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6951.jpg?v=1790241440","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6951","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
