{"product_id":"p2288","title":"Shisa","description":"This is a Bizen ware Shisa figurine by Yukio Tomori, who began his path in pottery in Okinawa and studied under Taisetsu Sueishi in Bizen. It is a unique piece that expresses the Okinawan specialty, the Shisa, through Bizen ware, reflecting Tomori-sensei’s roots in Miyakojima. The piece has a soft, reddish finish achieved by avoiding the \"goma\" (ash glaze) effect, which further accentuates the character of the Shisa. The mouth is designed to hold various items; similar pieces have been used in Tomori-sensei’s workshop as candle holders, single-flower vases, or display stands.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tourakuen.jp\/tomori.yukio.tokusyu.php\"\u003e\"Yukio Tomori Feature\"\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 13.6cm x 9.8cm x Height 13.2cm\n\nYukio Tomori was born on Miyakojima, Okinawa Prefecture.
