Bizen Sake Cup

This Bizen sake cup is the work of Kazuki Nakamura, who follows in the footsteps of masters Rokuro and Makoto Nakamura to create works with profound depth. It features a kiln-change (yohen) effect—the Nakamura family's specialty—where a brilliant scarlet blends with bright brown 'kase-goma' (dull sesame glaze). The scarlet color, reminiscent of a blazing sunrise, has emerged perfectly. Combined with the classic form passed down through three generations, this piece is the ideal vessel for enjoying sake.
