{"product_id":"p2996","title":"Bizen beer mug","description":"This beer mug is the work of Shusaku Taku, an artist who shapes his creations using the daily inspirations he gathers as \"yeast,\" while honoring Bizen ware, a craft that has matured alongside the continuous activities of people throughout history. The clay was not blended for uniformity, but instead intentionally fired to retain a marbled pattern. The rim features a vividly colored *hidasuki* (fire-cord) mark, which serves as a perfect bridge between the *goma* (ash glaze) and the marbled texture of the clay. The rim is exceptionally thin, promising a crisp pour and making it an excellent companion for the upcoming season.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/takusyusaku.tokusyu.php\"\u003eInterview with Shusaku Taku\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.1cm x 7.9cm x Height 15.0cm\n\nShusaku Taku was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Mamoru Taku.
