{"product_id":"p2939","title":"Bizen small plate","description":"This Bizen small plate is by Kenji Nakamoto, who has been working with pottery in Imbe since his university days and studied under Shin Isezaki. It is a size that can be used as a slightly larger mamezara (bean plate), perfect for sweets, pickles, or anything else. The charming design with raised edges looks stylish not only when in use, but even when stacked for storage, which speaks to Nakamoto's high level of design sensibility. The crisp, bright yellow sesame glaze features clear white patches, providing a striking contrast that keeps the piece from ever feeling dull.\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter approx. 8.5cm × diameter approx. 8.3cm × height approx. 3.7cm\n\nKenji Nakamoto was born in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1975.

He was selected for the Okayama Prefectural Art Exhibition in 2001 and again the following year, and in 2005, he established his own studio in Kugui, Bizen City. The following year, he built a renbo-shiki noborigama (multi-chambered climbing kiln) and has been dedicated to his pottery ever since.","brand":"中本研之","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618518257761,"sku":"2939","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/2939.jpg?v=1790237074","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p2939","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
