{"product_id":"p4182","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired Bizen sake cup by Mashiro Aiga, an artist who creates uncompromising, steadfast works. It is a brilliant display of the soil-color transformations that only emerge through intensive firing—a true hallmark of Aiga-sensei, who specializes in the firing process among the many Bizen ceramicists. Typically, the more Bizen ware is fired, the harder and more colorless the surface becomes, but this piece features a moist texture rich in colors like reddish-purple and ocher. The interior also displays a \"shiso\" (perilla) color distinct from the outer rim, creating a mysterious convergence of diverse hues beneath a powerful firing.\n\nOriginal signed wooden box to follow at a later date (please allow some time for shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.9cm x Diameter 7.4cm x Height 5.0cm\n\nMashiro Aiga graduated from the Okayama Prefectural Bizen Pottery Center in 1997. In 2003, he built a fully subterranean anagama kiln in Sabukaze. He went on to build a second, semi-subterranean anagama kiln the following year in 2004, and continues to devote himself to his craft.","brand":"相賀真志郎","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618576486497,"sku":"4182","price":13000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/4182.jpg?v=1790238750","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p4182","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
