{"product_id":"p6585","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a new Bizen sake cup, fresh from the kiln, created by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist whose deeply evocative work follows in the footsteps of masters Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these master sake cup makers, this piece showcases Kazuki’s unique flair, imbuing the style with a distinct character that sets it apart from his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in April 2022, this latest work features an elegant, rhythmic form born from the potter's wheel technique passed down from his grandfather, exuding a refined allure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is enveloped in a light-gray ash-covered kiln transformation that softly catches the light, while the front reveals a beautiful scarlet hue, as if opening the folds of a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich scarlet clay base—a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family—is exquisite; it is a piece that delights both the eye and the hand, and will develop a smoother texture with use, offering immense potential as a fine sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis flat cup has a wider outer rim than Kazuki’s usual pieces, making it particularly recommended for men with larger hands.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slatted lid) included.\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter: 9.1cm x 8.9cm, Height: 3.6cm\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":46618720010337,"sku":"6585","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6585.jpg?v=1790241244","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6585","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
