{"product_id":"p6577","title":"Bizen rectangular plate","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen rectangular plate by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who creates pieces with rich character, following in the footsteps of the master sake vessel craftsmen Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of masters of sake vessel making, this piece is quintessentially Kazuki, subtly incorporating a unique style that distinguishes his work from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, fired in April 2022, is a rectangular plate that showcases a combination of the intense scarlet and kiln-transmutation (yohen) characteristic of the Nakamura family.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt features a \"hie\" (scarlet glow) reminiscent of a sunset, often seen in their sake vessels; even as tableware, it exudes a unique allure as if it were a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a width of just under 30 cm, it is easy to handle, and the carefully crafted hand-beaten form is simple and understated. Even with the strong scarlet kiln-transmutation, it does not overpower the food, but rather enhances it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSoaking the plate in water before use prevents staining and allows the scarlet color to take on a more beautiful, moist appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 29.1cm x 16.2cm x Height 3.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\nKazuki Nakamura was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1980, 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 independent in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618719649889,"sku":"6577","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6577.jpg?v=1790241238","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6577","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
