{"product_id":"p6574","title":"Bizen Yohen Sake Bottle","description":"This is a brand new Bizen yohen sake bottle fresh from the kiln by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of master sake ware creators Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to produce deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of these masters, this piece is quintessentially Kazuki, subtly incorporating a unique character into his style that distinguishes it from the work of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, fired in April 2022, is a masterful creation that combines the iconic turnip-shaped (kabura) form passed down from Rokuro Nakamura with a rich, earthy texture and a bold, ash-covered kiln-change (haikaburi yohen) finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThrough an intense firing process that pushes the clay to its limits, he has achieved a deep, ash-covered aesthetic where the dull, metallic glisten of the ash and the raised, scorched sesame-like markings exude an overwhelming sense of presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe signature scarlet (hi-iro) hue of the Nakamura family is captured just a moment before being fired out, resulting in a surface rich with varied earthy tones—from glowing, feverish reds and viscous perilla-purple to intermediate shades of orange—that will only improve and develop further with use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a lively, visually captivating sake bottle that will make every drink a genuine delight from the moment it is in your hands.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.4cm x Body 10.6cm x Body 10.4cm x Height 9.7cm; Capacity approx. 310cc\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, 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":46618719551585,"sku":"6574","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6574.jpg?v=1790241234","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6574","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
