Bizen Guinomi

This Guinomi was made by Kazuki Nakamura approximately 15 years ago.
On the front, it features a vibrant scarlet clay color (Hiiro)—a hallmark of the Nakamura family—
while inside, a more subtle scarlet tone lies hidden, gradually revealing itself as it comes into contact with sake.
In terms of usability, the slightly tapered body fits naturally between the thumb and forefinger,
and the sturdy foot offers a secure hold for the middle finger, making it more comfortable to handle than its appearance might suggest.
This piece allows you to enjoy both the expressive form and vivid Hiiro at once.
As you continue to use it, the surface will become increasingly polished by sake, enhancing its character over time.
It has only been used a few times since purchase, and remains in excellent condition with no noticeable stains or signs of wear.

He was born in 1980 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, the eldest son of Makoto Nakamura.
He graduated from Okayama University in 2003.
He became independent as a ceramic artist in 2006.
