{"product_id":"p6441","title":"Bizen ware shochu cup","description":"This is a brand new Bizen shochu cup, fresh from the kiln, by Kazuki Nakamura—an artist who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to create deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of these masters of sake ware, this shochu cup bears Kazuki’s signature touch, infusing his work with a unique character that distinguishes it from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in October 2021, this latest creation features a silhouette with a relaxed, rhythmic rise—a testament to the wheel-throwing techniques inherited from his grandfather—that exudes an exquisite elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe design resembles a shorter version of the traditional Nakamura family cylindrical beer mug, making it versatile enough to be used not only as a shochu cup but also as a piece of tableware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe texture of the clay is also superb, echoing the quality seen in the work of Rokuro, with a beautiful surface marked by soft, overall flashes of scarlet (hidasuki).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike all his sake vessels, this piece offers the joy of becoming more familiar and refined the more you use it.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.1cm x 7.6cm x Height 7.3cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen will be charged.\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":46618717487201,"sku":"6441","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6441.jpg?v=1790241140","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6441","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
