{"product_id":"p6293","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen sake cup (guinomi) by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura to create works of profound depth.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile following in the footsteps of masters of sake vessel making, Kazuki's work bears his own signature style, subtlely incorporating a unique character distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCreated in June 2021, this latest work features a relaxed, rhythmic rise achieved through potter's wheel techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite allure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile draped in a dry, crusty \"kase-goma\" ash glaze reminiscent of tree bark, the front reveals a beautiful scarlet hue, as if opening the folds of a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich scarlet clay, a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family, is remarkably beautiful. It is a joy to behold and to use, and as it is broken in, the texture will grow smoother, reflecting its immense potential as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the rhythmic, undulating rim to the powerfully carved foot, the piece brilliantly honors the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through a lifetime of deep appreciation for sake.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please note that shipment will take some time).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.9cm x 7.8cm x Height 5.0cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, as the eldest son of Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Okayama University in 2003, he studied under his grandfather Rokuro Nakamura and his father Shin Nakamura to hone his ceramic skills.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe fired his first kiln and became an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618714964065,"sku":"6293","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6293.jpg?v=1790241021","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6293","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
