Kohiki tea cup

This Kohiki tea cup is by the popular young artist Yoshiteru Koriki, a former apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. The work catches the eye with its beautiful white, inherited from his mentor, Sozan Kaneshige. The clean, cool-looking white glaze is perfect for the coming season. The orthodox style characteristic of Koriki makes it a versatile choice for anyone, ideal as a gift. Beneath the brilliant, snow-like white glaze, powerful throwing marks are concealed, evoking the image of the earth waiting to sprout while hidden under snow. Paper box

After graduating from high school, he studied under Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho Kaneshige starting in 1989, learning ceramic techniques. After seven years of training, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City in 1996 to become independent, 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 since. In 1999, his work was selected for the "Exhibition of Northern Confectionery Containers I Want to Use," and in 2002, it was selected for the "Chanoyu Modeling Exhibition" for the first time.
