{"product_id":"p2979","title":"Bizen tea bowl","description":"This tea bowl is the work of Shusaku Taku, an artist who shapes his creations using the emotions of daily life as a catalyst, working with Bizen ware that has matured alongside the continuous activities of people throughout history. The low, powerful form, characteristic of a kutsu-chawan (shoe-shaped tea bowl), perfectly suits the vigorous firing. One side features a world of black created by bold scorched sesame glaze, while the other forms a golden world of well-melted, liquefied sesame glaze. As an artist who studies Raku tea bowls, Taku has created a refined bowl that embodies both stillness and motion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/takusyusaku.tokusyu.php\"\u003eInterview with Shusaku Taku\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned storage box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for delivery)\n\nShusaku Taku was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Mamoru Taku.
