{"product_id":"p7091","title":"Bizen Yohen Sake Bottle","description":"This is a Bizen kiln-transmutation sake flask by Kazuki Nakamura, a potter who creates deeply evocative works while carrying on the lineage of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Makoto Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the legacy of these masters of sake vessel creation, this flask is distinctly characteristic of Kazuki, infusing his work with a unique color profile that sets him apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a tour de force that combines the superb scarlet hue inherited from Rokuro Nakamura with a magnificent matte kiln-transmutation finish that is as beautiful to behold as it is to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRetaining the beautiful scarlet color that is a hallmark of the Nakamura family, he has aimed for a rich ash-covered kiln-transmutation effect; thanks to the exquisite firing, one can enjoy both the supreme scarlet and the dense, silvery-black ash-covered surfaces simultaneously.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, perhaps due to the whims of the intoxicated kiln god, the lower right section has transitioned sharply into a matte sesame-glaze texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe firing character also shifts abruptly in the center, as if drawing a line, making it appear as though a piece of an entirely different matte sesame-glaze flask has been grafted on—a truly fascinating detail.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form, shaped under the guidance of these master craftsmen, exudes a dignified air, and this is a magnificent sake flask that will make drinking a genuine joy from the very day it comes into your hands.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.4cm × Body diameter 10.2cm × Body diameter 10.2cm × Height 10.7cm Capacity approx. 350cc\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1980 as the eldest son of Makoto 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, Makoto Nakamura, to refine his ceramic techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe fired his first kiln and became an independent potter in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618079756385,"sku":"7091","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7091.jpg?v=1790232209","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7091","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
