{"product_id":"p6760","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"This is a new Bizen sake cup (sakazuki) fresh from the kiln, created by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura to produce works of profound character.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the tradition of these masters of sake vessel creation, this piece is quintessentially Kazuki—incorporating a unique flair into his style that distinguishes it from the work of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFresh from the kiln in October 2022, this latest work features a leisurely, rhythmic rise in form achieved through wheel-throwing techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile wrapped in a light-gray, ash-covered yohen glaze that glows faintly, the front reveals a beautiful scarlet hue, as if opening the folds of a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich, scarlet clay body, a closely guarded secret of the Nakamura family, is remarkably beautiful. Not only is it a delight to behold and use, but its texture will grow smoother and more refined with time, giving it immense potential as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the rhythmically undulating rim to the powerfully carved foot, he has masterfully inherited the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through a lifetime of fine drinking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.8cm × 7.7cm × Height 5.0cm\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 an independent artist in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618723549281,"sku":"6760","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6760.jpg?v=1790241374","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6760","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
