{"product_id":"p3175","title":"Ibe Shuten","description":"This Ibe sake cup is by Kosei Kibata, who made his long-awaited debut after nine years of devoted apprenticeship under Jun Isezaki. The piece has been coated with slip and fired to the absolute limit, resulting in a landscape reminiscent of boiled-down amber, created by the reaction between the Ibe clay and the ash glaze. The finish showcases the full potential of the clay—a trademark of Kibata-sensei, who loves researching his materials—with the ash appearing murky in some areas, clear in others, and forming white kiln-transmutation effects elsewhere. The exceptionally thick foot and the raw, wheel-thrown form seem to express his resolve to let the clay speak for itself.\n\nSigned wooden box (lid with two cross-braces)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.4cm × Diameter 6.8cm × Height 5.7cm\n\nKosei Kibata was born in Imbe, Bizen City, in 1974. In 2002, he began his apprenticeship under Bizen pottery master Jun Isezaki. In 2012, he built his own kiln and became independent in Shimizu, Wake Town. That same year, he received the Tanabe Museum of Art Grand Prize and the Tea Ceremony Sculpture Exhibition Encouragement Award.","brand":"木畑考生","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46617952911457,"sku":"3175","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3175.jpg?v=1790230280","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p3175","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
