{"product_id":"p7760","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a Bizen sake cup, an earlier work by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who carries on the legacy of the masters of sake vessels, Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura, to create works of profound character.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile inheriting the lineage of these master sake vessel makers, this cup reflects Kazuki’s signature style, infusing his work with a unique aesthetic distinct from that of his father and grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a truly exquisite sake cup that showcases the vibrant scarlet hue characteristic of the Nakamura family, a matte, wood-bark-like sesame glaze (kase-goma), and rich, kiln-altered ash deposits (hai-kaburi).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe front reveals the vibrant scarlet typical of the Nakamura family, while the interior features a hidden scarlet that emerges when dampened with sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of usability, the slightly constricted body fits perfectly between the thumb and index finger, while the sturdy foot provides a secure grip for the middle finger, making it much easier to hold than its appearance might suggest.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece allows you to enjoy both its deep, masterful form and vibrant scarlet color, and it will only grow more beautiful with each use as it is polished by the sake.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cup was used only a few times after purchase and shows no stains or signs of wear.\n\nOriginal signed wooden box (futoh-zan type)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 9.0cm x 8.7cm x Height 3.3cm\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 independent in 2006.","brand":"中村和樹","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618207223905,"sku":"7760","price":6600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7760.jpg?v=1790233217","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p7760","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
