{"product_id":"p4152","title":"R432 Shuten Black","description":"This is the new \"R432 Sake Cup - Black\" by Toru Ichikawa, who made a stunning debut after studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. While one is immediately drawn to the avant-garde design, overflowing with originality, picking it up reveals the immense passion he pours into expressing the beauty of the clay as a material. Achieving such beautiful curves and sharp edges requires an incredible amount of time and effort spent on finishing, based on a deep understanding of the clay's properties; this is a work born from single-mindedly forging the earth, much like a master swordsmith. The latest in the R432 series, inspired by lusterware, it features a body that has become like tamahagane steel through the emergence of silver carbide, coated in a mysterious black glaze reminiscent of the dark universe. The rough, rock-like texture around the waist emits a dull glow due to the effect of the silver carbide, making it a piece where not only the glaze but even the clay body itself is beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2016\/06\/ichikawa-new2016june.html\"\u003eSee the blog post for Toru Ichikawa's new works\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nIncludes signed wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.9cm x Diameter 5.7cm x Height 6.1cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
