{"product_id":"p2651","title":"Black cup","description":"This is a new black cup by Masao Akitani, an artist who trained under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and creates works brimming with his own unique originality within a fresh spirit. Its glossy black surface makes it a stylish and chic piece. During the last kiln opening, the black slip finish was highly praised for how beautifully it accentuates the color of café au lait and coffee with milk. He has created subtle changes in texture by finely scraping the surface with a spatula, adding that charming, understated touch characteristic of Akitani-sensei.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.5cm x 9.4cm x Height 6.9cm\n\nMasao Akitani was born in Saitama in 1968.
