A textured, unglazed wood-fired finish adds a touch of tradition and elegance to any dining experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYasushi Nakai is a contemporary Japanese artisan specialising in Bizen ware. Finding a balance between traditional forms and functional daily objects, Nakai is known for works that centre on the raw, earthy qualities of local clay alongside natural kiln transformation. Bizen ware (Bizen-yaki, 備前焼) is one of Japan's oldest forms of pottery, traditionally from Bizen province in what is now Okayama Prefecture. High-temperature wood firing makes it exceptionally hard, and without glaze the clay takes on earthy, reddish-brown tones and organic markings from the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso see the Mugenan \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bizen-ware-sake-gift-set\"\u003eBizen Ware Sake Gift Set\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bizen-ware-sake-cup\"\u003eBizen Ware Sake Cup\u003c\/a\u003e, and the Hechimon \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kohiki-sake-cup\"\u003eKohiki Sake Cup\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Yasushi Nakai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: wood-fired unglazed clay (Bizen ware)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: 1 sake bottle and 2 sake cups in a signed wooden box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: bottle approx. 8.5 × 14.5 cm high (holds 350ml); cups approx. 6 × 6 cm high (holds 70ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs each piece is handmade and wood-fired, the wood ash markings and colouring differ on each piece and from the set photographed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Okayama, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pottery\"\u003eJapanese pottery\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yasushi Nakai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67731671613600,"sku":"M54796180","price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/0175\/9810\/files\/Yasushi-nakai-biizen-ware-sake-gift-set.webp?v=1792372987","url":"https:\/\/www.mujostore.com\/products\/yasushi-nakai-bizen-ware-sake-gift-set","provider":"Mujo Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
