Bizen rice bowl

This rice bowl features a delightful, rustic charm characteristic of earthenware, crafted using mountain clay from Yoshiteru Koriki, a popular young artist who was an apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. Its appeal lies in its coarse texture, rich with small stones, and a sophisticated, fired finish. As you use it daily, the earthen character will deepen, and its texture will gradually become smoother. Since it is large, it can also be enjoyed for whisking matcha. Bizen rice bowls have a reputation for being easy to use as rice grains do not stick to them easily, making them an excellent choice for gifts. Paper box

About gift wrapping Yoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Influenced by his father, who loved pottery, he pursued a career in ceramics. After graduating from high school, he studied pottery techniques under the master Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho starting in 1989. After seven years of training, he became independent in 1996, building a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and successfully fired his first kiln the following year. He held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held annual solo exhibitions ever since. In 1999, his work was selected for the "Exhibition of Confectionery Bowls from the North that You Want to Use," and in 2002, he was selected for the "Chanoyu Modeling Exhibition" for the first time.
