{"product_id":"p2276","title":"Pour sake","description":"This is a Bizen tea cup by Yukio Tomori, who began his path in ceramics in Okinawa before studying under Taisetsu Sueishi in Bizen. Reflecting his philosophy of not setting fixed forms or constraints, and instead capturing the best moment by letting the clay follow its own flow, this piece features a dynamic shape. The shimmering scorched sesame-seed glaze speaks to the intensity of the kiln firing, creating a striking appearance that perfectly complements the fluid design. True to his motto of \"free-spirited pottery making,\" the design is versatile enough to be used as a flower vase in addition to its use as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tourakuen.jp\/tomori.yukio.tokusyu.php\"\u003e\"Yukio Tomori Special Feature\"\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 16.3cm x Diameter 13.2cm x Height 13.9cm\n\nBorn on Miyakojima Island, Okinawa, Yukio Tomori aspired to become a potter after encountering wood-fired unglazed works in Okinawa during high school. He trained at the Tsubayama Pottery Studio in Okinawa starting in 1984. Later, moved by his encounter with Bizen ware while traveling through various pottery regions, he studied under Taisetsu Sueishi for four years beginning in 1987. He built his own anagama kiln and became independent after his first firing in 1999. Since holding his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2001, he has held exhibitions in various locations, including Fukushima, Chiba, Osaka, Ehime, and Miyakojima.","brand":"友利幸夫","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618432831585,"sku":"2276","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/2276.jpg?v=1790236222","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p2276","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
