{"product_id":"p3170","title":"Bizen mug","description":"This Bizen ware mug is by Takashi Baba, who was born in Imbe and has loved Bizen ware since childhood, finding his life’s joy in crafting works and firing kilns. He creates mud paintings that resemble sand ripples on a beach by applying liquid-like clay to the surface. The handle has also been thoughtfully designed, shaped specifically to fit the fingers for a comfortable grip. Combining relatively basic kiln-altered effects such as sangiri (oxygen-starved firing) and goma (ash glaze), it possesses a calm aesthetic perfect for everyday use.\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 10.9cm × Diameter 9.8cm × Height 10.1cm\n\nTakashi Baba was born in 1983 as the eldest son of Bizen ware artist Shosuke Baba. Thinking from a young age that he would become a potter, he chose to study sculpture in university to broaden his perspective on ceramics. After graduating from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2006, he honed his skills at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Culture. He became independent in 2007 and held his first solo exhibition. He is currently active, focusing on solo exhibitions at department stores.","brand":"馬場隆志","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618528579681,"sku":"3170","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3170.jpg?v=1790237425","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p3170","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
