{"product_id":"p7347","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen sake cup (guinomi) by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of master sake-ware potters Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to create deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile maintaining the heritage of these masters, Kazuki infuses his own unique aesthetic into his work, distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln as of June 2024, the cup features a relaxed, rhythmic rise achieved through potter’s wheel techniques inherited from his grandfather, radiating an exquisite elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nClad in a dry, crusty sesame glaze (kase-goma) reminiscent of tree bark, the front reveals a beautiful scarlet hue, as if opening a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich scarlet clay body, a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family, is remarkably beautiful. It is a piece that delights the eye and the hand, and with use, its texture will become even smoother, offering immense potential as a piece of sake ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the undulating, rhythmic rim to the powerfully carved foot, it masterfully inherits the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through his own deep appreciation for sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm x 7.9cm x Height 4.7cm\u003cbr\u003e\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 studied under his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, and his father, Shin Nakamura, to refine his pottery 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":46618129432673,"sku":"7347","price":11000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7347.jpg?v=1790232575","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7347","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
