{"product_id":"p7268","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"This is a slightly earlier Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of master sake ware creators Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to produce deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the legacy of these masters, this cup bears the unmistakable signature of Kazuki, infusing his work with a unique character distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a tour de force that pairs the exquisite scarlet hue inherited from Rokuro Nakamura with a magnificent matte-textured *yohen* (kiln change) that is as beautiful to behold as it is to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile retaining the beautiful scarlet red characteristic of the Nakamura family, he has aimed for a rich, ash-covered *yohen* effect; the way the firing shifts in the center, appearing as if a line has been drawn, gives the impression that two separately fired cups have been joined together.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the rhythmically undulating rim to the powerfully carved interior of the foot, he has masterfully inherited the techniques cultivated by his grandfather Rokuro through a lifetime of dedicated drinking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a piece that allows you to enjoy deeply expressive form and stunning kiln effects in harmony, and as you use it, it will be polished by the sake, growing richer in character over time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis item is unused and has been carefully stored since purchase.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-braced)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.2cm x 8.0cm x Height 5.3cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1980, the eldest son of Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Okayama University in 2003, he honed his ceramic skills under his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, and his father, Shin Nakamura.\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":46618109608033,"sku":"7268","price":7700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7268.jpg?v=1790232452","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7268","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
