{"product_id":"p6752","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"These are brand-new Bizen sake cups (guinomi) fresh from the kiln by Kazuki Nakamura, a master who carries on the lineage of the legendary sake-ware masters Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to create works of profound character.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of these masters, Kazuki’s cups feature his own distinct touch, subtly introducing a color profile that sets them apart from his father’s and grandfather’s work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, fired in October 2022, features a gentle, rhythmic rise achieved through potter’s wheel techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite sense of elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of usability, the slightly constricted body fits perfectly between the thumb and index finger, while the base sits securely against the middle finger, making it easier to hold than its appearance suggests.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis sake cup showcases the vibrant scarlet \"hidasuki\" markings characteristic of the Nakamura family. The front reveals a bold, vivid scarlet, while the interior features hidden shades that emerge only when dampened by sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA piece that harmonizes profound form with brilliant color, its character will only deepen as it is polished by the sake you pour into it over time.\n\nSigned wooden box (Shiho-san included)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.7cm x 8.7cm x Height 3.8cm\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":46618722762849,"sku":"6752","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6752.jpg?v=1790241366","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6752","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
