{"product_id":"p1706","title":"Ibe Yohen Sake Cup","description":"This Ibe yohen sake cup is the work of Suehiro Koyama, who inherited a deep appreciation for clay from his father, the renowned master craftsman Issou Koyama. The sharply defined *kumadori* (shading) is deeply impressive, standing as a testament to the quality of both the clay and the firing. The dark, rich ash glaze is truly exquisite, allowing one to savor the depth and luxury born from the artisan's dedication. In the design of the body's constriction and the foot, one can feel the influence of the techniques of his close associate, Sozan Koyama.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 5.8cm × Diameter 5.8cm × Height 5.3cm\n\nSuehiro Koyama was born in Imbe as the third son of the master craftsman Issou Koyama I, who was celebrated for his detailed decorative work.
