{"product_id":"p6310","title":"Bizen ware tea bowl","description":"These newly fired Bizen tea bowls are the work of Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of master sake vessel artisans Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to create deeply expressive works.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of these masters of sake vessel creation, these tea bowls embody Kazuki's unique style, subtly infusing a distinct character that sets his work apart from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in June 2021, these latest pieces feature a gracefully rising form shaped by wheel techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe powerful undulations of the rim and foot, which could easily be mistaken for the work of his grandfather Rokuro, possess a sophisticated atmosphere and a unique allure rarely seen in such a young artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is an intriguing experiment in which Kazuki has scaled up the popular flat sake cup (hirahai)—highly regarded among sake enthusiasts—for use as a sencha tea bowl, while maintaining the signature scarlet clay texture of the Nakamura family.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe tactile experience is identical to that of the flat sake cup; it allows the aroma of the tea to expand leisurely, while the uniquely undulating rim gently greets the lips.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 9.5cm × 9.2cm × Height 4.6cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen applies.\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 ceramic techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first kiln firing and became an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618715390049,"sku":"6310","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6310.jpg?v=1790241042","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6310","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
