{"product_id":"p6435","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 continues the legacy of masters Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to produce deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these master sake ware craftsmen, this cup is quintessentially Kazuki, infusing his personal style with a unique flair that distinguishes it from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in October 2021, the silhouette, formed with the relaxed rhythm of a potter's wheel inherited from his grandfather, exudes an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of usability, the slightly tapered body fits perfectly between the thumb and forefinger, and the sturdy foot ring provides a secure grip for the middle finger, making it even easier to hold than it appears.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis sake cup showcases the vivid scarlet hues characteristic of the Nakamura family. The exterior prominently displays this vibrant color, while the interior reveals hidden scarlet tones that emerge when the surface is wetted with sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a piece that offers both deeply refined form and vivid color, promising to develop even more character as it is polished by the sake poured into it over time.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slatted)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.5cm x 8.4cm x Height 4.0cm\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 apprenticed under his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, and his father, Shin Nakamura, to refine his ceramic techniques.\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":46618717356129,"sku":"6435","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6435.jpg?v=1790241132","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6435","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
