{"title":"Nakahara Kunisuke","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"202\" data-end=\"608\"\u003eNakahara Kunisuke is an experienced Hagi potter from the city of Hagi in Yamaguchi. Since 1975, he has dedicated himself to working with the famous soft Hagi clay and continues the long-standing Chinchugama workshop. His studio is located between the historic Shōin Shrine and the Tōkō Temple, so that visitors feel as though they have arrived in a quiet corridor between past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"1171\"\u003eHe produces a wide range of vessels for everyday use: yunomi, bowls, jugs, and vases. However, his artistic heart beats especially strongly for tea bowls. For him, Hagi is inextricably linked with the chawan, and thus his kiln produces pieces that bear the hallmark of a life full of observation, experience, and patient refinement. His guiding principle is: “Pottery is a lifelong study.” This quiet promise of personal growth can be felt in every mark, every flow of glaze, every delicate nuance of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1465\"\u003eHagi ware has long been considered a favorite of tea masters and is often mentioned in the same breath as Raku and Karatsu. Its porous, gentle surface develops a subtle transformation with every use, so that over time each piece becomes a personal diary of tea and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1742\"\u003eNakahara Kunisuke’s works combine this tradition with a contemporary openness. Today, they can also be found in online shops such as Rakuten and are enjoying growing appreciation among collectors and tea enthusiasts who discover an unpretentious depth in them.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hagi-kunisuke-nakahara-becher-240-ml","title":"Hagi Nakahara Kunisuke Cup 240 ml","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"396\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eGlazed stoneware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"396\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eThis Hagi cup is by Kunisuke Nakahara.
