{"product_id":"p6309","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a brand new Bizen sake cup (guinomi) fresh from the kiln, created by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who produces deeply expressive works in the lineage of master sake vessel artisans Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the legacy of these masters, this piece bears the unique, personal touch that distinguishes Kazuki's work from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in June 2021, the cup’s silhouette—formed with the relaxed, rhythmic wheel-throwing technique inherited from his grandfather—exudes an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of usability, the slightly indented body fits perfectly between the thumb and index finger, while the sturdy foot ring securely catches the middle finger, making it easier to hold than its appearance suggests.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cup features the vivid scarlet (hi-iro) characteristic of the Nakamura family. On the front, this brilliant hue is proudly displayed, while on the interior, a hidden scarlet emerges when the piece is wetted with sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a piece where one can enjoy both profound form and vibrant color simultaneously, and as it is used, it will be polished by the sake to develop even greater character over time.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slatted)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.5cm x 8.3cm x Height 3.9cm\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1980 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 pottery 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":46618715357281,"sku":"6309","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6309.jpg?v=1790241040","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6309","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
