{"product_id":"p1528","title":"Kuroshuten","description":"This is a black sake cup by Koichiro Isezaki, who was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and is breathing new life into the Bizen ware world through his exceptional sense and masterful sculpting ability. Its glossy black surface reflects light, yet its depth evokes the cosmos. The spherical base, with its pentagonal rim, perfectly suits the cool, all-black tone. The contrast between the smooth exterior and the rugged interior—which looks as if it were carved out with a drill—is also fascinating.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san) \u003cbr\u003e\nW 6.8cm x W 6.7cm x H 7.8cm\n\nKoichiro Isezaki was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The Isezaki family is a prestigious name in Bizen ware; his grandfather was Intangible Cultural Property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was Intangible Cultural Property holder Mitsuru Isezaki. He aspired to become a ceramic artist from an early age. After graduating from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He spent approximately two years studying ceramics under New York-based ceramic artist Jeff Shapiro, which greatly broadened his perspective on art and pottery. Upon returning to Japan in 2000, he trained under his father alongside his father's apprentices. In 2002, he submitted work to the Tanabe Museum of Art Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time and was selected.","brand":"伊勢崎晃一朗","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618354319457,"sku":"1528","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/1528.jpg?v=1790235331","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p1528","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
