{"product_id":"p6768","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"These are new Bizen sake cups fresh from the kiln by Kazuki Nakamura, a potter who carries on the lineage of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura to create deeply evocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile following in the footsteps of masters of sake vessel creation, these cups display the unique touch characteristic of Kazuki, infusing his style with a color palette distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese latest pieces were removed from the kiln in October 2022; the relaxed, rhythmic rise of the form, achieved through wheel techniques passed down from his grandfather, exudes an exquisite charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCoated in a matte-textured sesame glaze reminiscent of tree bark, the front of the piece reveals a beautiful scarlet hue, as if opening a kimono.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich, scarlet clay body, a secret of the Nakamura family, is exceptionally beautiful. Not only is it a delight to behold and use, but its texture will grow smoother with age, giving it immense potential as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the rhythmically undulating rim to the boldly carved foot, these works masterfully inherit the techniques cultivated by his grandfather, Rokuro Nakamura, through his own lifelong passion for sake.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-battened lid)\nDiameter 7.9cm x 7.7cm x Height 5.0cm\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 refine his ceramic 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":46618724171873,"sku":"6768","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6768.jpg?v=1790241382","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6768","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
