{"product_id":"p4139","title":"Vermilion clay sake cup with painted decoration","description":"This is a new vermilion-slip sake cup by Toru Ichikawa, who made a striking debut after studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. While one is immediately drawn to its highly original, avant-garde design, holding it in your hands reveals the immense passion poured into expressing the beauty of the clay itself. Creating these beautiful curves and edges requires a deep understanding of the clay's properties, demanding an extraordinary amount of time and meticulous effort to finish—a work born from forging the clay with single-minded intensity, much like a master swordsmith. Entitled \"Shudei-sai\" (Vermilion-slip), this masterpiece features black and white glazes dancing across a backdrop of vibrant vermilion clay. It brilliantly incorporates the three colors of red, black, and white—long beloved by the Japanese—into an avant-garde form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2016\/06\/ichikawa-new2016june.html\"\u003eView the blog post for Toru Ichikawa's new works\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please allow some time for delivery)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 5.1cm x Diameter 4.9cm x Height 6.5cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
