{"product_id":"p4337","title":"Foam Gold-Decorated Tea Bowl \"Hagakure\"","description":"This is a new work, the \"Hagakure\" Foam Gold-Glazed Tea Bowl, by Toru Ichikawa, who made a striking debut after studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. It is an exceptionally creative work, true to Ichikawa-sensei’s style of shaping his endlessly overflowing ideas through the supreme medium of clay. In this tea bowl from his new \"Foam\" (Utakata) series, the gold glaze, which appears as if beaten out from real gold bullion, has a boiling texture; it is scraped away in places to reveal the Hagakure red glaze beneath, while platinum accents wind around it as if alive, expressing a dazzling worldview reminiscent of the golden city of El Dorado. As the title \"Foam\" suggests, the overflowing radiance—achievable only through such a mesmerizing glaze—creates a fantastical landscape that invites you into a golden land existing within an illusion. The powerful hexagonal faceted form gives it a weighty, solid presence in the hand, much like a gold nugget, and it is truly impactful.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 13.6cm × Diameter 12.9cm × Height 9.0cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
