{"product_id":"p6761","title":"Bizen sake bottle","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen sake bottle by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who creates deeply evocative works while carrying on the tradition of the legendary sake vessel masters, Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these masters, this sake bottle is quintessentially Kazuki, subtly weaving a unique flair into his style that distinguishes it from both his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFreshly fired in October 2022, this latest work features a relaxed, rhythmic rise achieved through potter's wheel techniques inherited from his grandfather, exuding an exquisite sense of charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe piece showcases \"kase-yohen\" (matte kiln-altered) firing, combining matte sesame glaze (kase-goma) with ash-covered kiln changes. While the shift in scenery between the left and right sides offers a vibrant visual experience, it also promises the joy of aging and developing a unique patina through use, typical of matte-textured pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Nakamura family is known for their striking, brilliant scarlet hues; while this piece replaces the pervasive red with kase-yohen, it allows one to enjoy the characteristic scarlet in areas directly impacted by daily use, such as the center, sides, and neck.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form, shaped under the guidance of masters, carries a sense of profound elegance, making this a magnificent sake bottle that will make drinking a true pleasure from the very moment it arrives in your hands.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please note that it will take some time before shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.5cm x Body Diameter 9.6cm x Body Diameter 9.5cm x Height 11.4cm Capacity approx. 350cc\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 refine his ceramic techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first independent kiln firing in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618062028897,"sku":"6761","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6761.jpg?v=1790231813","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6761","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
