{"product_id":"p4781","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is a freshly kiln-fired Bizen sake cup by Kazuki Nakamura, a creator of deeply tasteful works who follows in the footsteps of master sake ware artisans Rokuro Nakamura and Makoto Nakamura. While inheriting the lineage of these masters, this cup bears Kazuki’s signature style, infusing a unique flair that distinguishes his work from that of his father and grandfather. It is a deeply flavorful piece that faithfully carries on the charm of the Nakamura family’s signature flat sake cup, which is highly popular among sake enthusiasts. The combination of the rich scarlet hue that seems to emanate from the very core of the clay—a hallmark of the Nakamura family—and the atmospheric *yohen* kiln-altered effects, where parts have carbonized into a black-silver, is truly the golden standard for Bizen sake ware; it is a piece that is a joy to behold, use, and cultivate over time. Furthermore, the fired clay texture within the foot and the interior of the cup has evolved into a rich, almost melting shiso-purple hue, resulting in a magnificent finish that allows one to fully savor the essence of the Nakamura family’s clay.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-crosspiece lid) \u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 9.6cm × Diameter 9.3cm × Height 3.1cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Makoto Nakamura.

He fired his first kiln and became an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618661683297,"sku":"4781","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/4781.jpg?v=1790239504","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p4781","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
