{"product_id":"p6978","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"This is a freshly kiln-fired Bizen sake cup (guinomi) by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who creates works of profound depth, following in the lineage of the master sake ware craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the legacy of these masters, this sake cup bears the signature Kazuki style, imbuing the work with a unique flair that distinguishes it from both his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, freshly taken from the kiln in April 2023, features a relaxed, rhythmic rise in form achieved through wheel-throwing techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile adorned with a \"kase-goma\" (matte sesame glaze) resembling the texture of 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 Nakamura family secret—is remarkably beautiful. It is a piece that delights both the eye and the hand, and as it is used, its texture will become even smoother, revealing the immense potential of this exquisite vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rhythmic, undulating lip and the powerfully carved foot demonstrate a masterful inheritance of the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through his lifelong dedication to fine spirits.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san) included.\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.3cm x 8.2cm x Height 5.2cm\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 refine his ceramic techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first independent kiln firing in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618729349217,"sku":"6978","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6978.jpg?v=1790241443","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6978","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
