{"product_id":"p4195","title":"Vermilion clay sake cup with painted decoration","description":"This is a vermilion clay sake cup by Toru Ichikawa, who studied under Ryuichi Kakurezaki and made a sensational debut. While one is immediately struck by his highly original, avant-garde design, holding it in your hands reveals the immense passion he pours into expressing the beauty of the clay itself. Creating these beautiful curves and edges requires a deep understanding of the clay's properties, coupled with a staggering amount of time and meticulous effort; it is a work born from forging the clay with single-minded devotion, much like a master swordsmith. Titled \"Shudei-sai\" (Vermilion Clay Decor), this masterpiece features black and white glazes dancing across a vibrant vermilion clay background. The three colors of red, black, and white evoke a sense of koi carp, resulting in a delightfully whimsical sake cup that reinterprets Japanese modernism through traditional vessels.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2016\/06\/ichikawa-new2016june.html\"\u003eSee the blog post for new works by Toru Ichikawa\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 4.7cm x Diameter 4.5cm x Height 6.7cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
