{"product_id":"p1772","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is an earlier Bizen sake cup by Shin Nakamura, the eldest son of the renowned Bizen sake ware master, the late Rokuro Nakamura, and a celebrated artisan of sake ware and tableware. While featuring a simple, upright form, the piece shines with the exquisite movement of its rim and foot. It possesses the characteristic \"sweet\" clay quality unique to the Nakamura family, making it a joy both to use and to admire. Although there are slight signs of use, the surface texture remains tactile, suggesting that it will continue to evolve further with time.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-crosspiece lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.5cm × 6.4cm × Height 5.8cm\n\nBorn the eldest son of Rokuro Nakamura, Shin Nakamura began learning the fundamentals under his father in 1971 and dedicated himself to refining his techniques.
