{"product_id":"p6336","title":"Bizen tea bowl","description":"A new Bizen teacup by Kazuki Nakamura, whose deeply expressive work follows in the footsteps of the master sake ware potters Rokuro Nakamura and his son, Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these masters of sake ware, this teacup displays a distinct charm characteristic of Kazuki, infusing his style with a unique flair that sets him apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, fresh from the kiln in June 2021, features a leisurely, rhythmic rise achieved through wheel-throwing techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite allure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe powerful undulations of the rim and foot, which could almost be mistaken for the work of his grandfather Rokuro, carry a sense of composure and a unique sophistication rarely seen in such a young artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is an intriguing experiment in which Kazuki has scaled up a flat sake cup—a form highly regarded among sake connoisseurs—for use as a tea cup, while preserving the characteristic scarlet clay body typical of the Nakamura family.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe tactile experience remains identical to the flat sake cup; it gently welcomes the lips with its uniquely undulating rim while allowing the aroma of the tea to spread leisurely.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 9.3cm x 9.2cm x 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 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":46618715750497,"sku":"6336","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6336.jpg?v=1790241058","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6336","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
