{"product_id":"p7642","title":"Bizen mug","description":"These are brand-new Bizen mugs, fresh from the kiln, created by Kazuki Nakamura—a potter who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura to produce deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhile inheriting the legacy of master sake vessel makers, these mugs distinctly reflect Kazuki’s personal touch, infusing his own unique sensibility into the style that sets him apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFreshly fired in April 2025 (Reiwa 7), the gentle, rhythmic rise of the vessel, crafted with the potter's wheel technique inherited from his grandfather, exudes an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe powerful undulation of the rim, so reminiscent of his grandfather Rokuro, carries a sense of composure and a unique allure rarely seen in a young artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe clay, while fired at a slightly higher temperature, displays a rich, chocolate-colored texture, allowing one to fully appreciate the high-quality *ta-do* (rice paddy clay) that is a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nLike his sake vessels, this mug offers the joy of growing more familiar and beautiful with every use.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.0cm x 7.8cm x Height 8.3cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen will be charged.\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 independent kiln in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618202538081,"sku":"7642","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7642.jpg?v=1790233030","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7642","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
