{"product_id":"p2986","title":"Bizen ware sake bottle","description":"This sake flask is the work of Shusaku Taku, an artist who shapes the essence of everyday inspirations into Bizen ware, a craft that has matured alongside the continuous history of human life. The form, created using the coil-building technique with the center point subtly shifted, possesses a highly three-dimensional and characterful silhouette. While the impression of a sake flask can change dramatically depending on how it rises, the Taku flask, despite incorporating a wide variety of movements, extends straight upward, resulting in a straightforward and easy-to-use piece. There is a delightful contrast between its cute, round, plump shape and the intense kiln-transformation (yohen) effect achieved by firing the black Ibe-te clay until it is scorched.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/takusyusaku.tokusyu.php\"\u003eInterview with Shusaku Taku\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned box to be provided later (please allow some time for shipping)\u003cbr\u003e\nMouth diameter 3.7cm × Body diameter 9.4cm × 9.4cm × Height 11.5cm\n\nShusaku Taku was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Mamoru Taku.
