{"product_id":"p6295","title":"Bizen ware square sake cup","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen sake cup (guinomi) by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who continues the legacy of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro and Shin Nakamura, creating works with profound depth.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these master ceramicists, this sake cup is distinctly Kazuki's own, incorporating a unique flair into his style that sets it apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis is a brand-new piece taken from the kiln in June 2021, featuring a captivating, newly attempted cylindrical form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe design has an atmosphere reminiscent of Shino-style small appetizers bowls (komukozuke); it would be interesting to use it as a dish for delicacies first, then pour sake into it to enjoy as a drinking vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe rich scarlet clay, a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family, is exceptionally beautiful. It is a joy to behold and use, and as it is seasoned, the texture will grow smoother, reflecting the tremendous potential this piece holds as a sake vessel.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-crosspiece lid) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.4cm × 6.3cm × Height 6.8cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1980 as the eldest son of Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\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 techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nHe fired his first kiln and became an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618715029601,"sku":"6295","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6295.jpg?v=1790241024","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6295","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
