Bizen Hidasuki sake cup

This is a new Bizen Hidasuki sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who creates works of profound depth, carrying on the lineage of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Makoto Nakamura. With the beautiful white surface typical of the Nakamura family—who are known for their meticulous attention to firing methods and clay to achieve exceptional scarlet hues—you can truly feel the quality of the clay. The vibrant red of the Hidasuki is exquisite; the scarlet cord wrapped around the rim like a touch of rouge is not only visually appealing but also feels wonderful against the lips. Its seemingly rugged form is thick and sturdy, providing a secure grip even for a drunken hand. It is a vessel crafted for those who love to drink, nurtured by someone who loves sake, designed with the sole focus on the convenience of the moment when one drinks. Signed wooden box (double-slat) included
