{"product_id":"p4395","title":"Vermilion Clay Platinum-Decorated Spouted Bowl \"Utakata\"","description":"This is a new *Shudei* (red clay) platinum-glazed *katakuchi* (sake pourer) titled \"Houmatsu\" (Bubbles) by Toru Ichikawa, an artist who made a striking debut after training under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. It is a highly original and exceptional piece, characteristic of Ichikawa-sensei, who brings his endlessly overflowing ideas to life through the supreme medium of clay. In this *tokkuri* (sake bottle) from his new \"Houmatsu\" series, a base of platinum glaze that appears to be vigorously boiling at high temperatures is layered with a contrasting, smooth-textured *Shudei* red clay glaze and gold-glazed accents that wrap around the vessel as if alive, creating an avant-garde aesthetic that fully embodies the world of Ichikawa. While the form is orthodox and easy to use as a sake pourer, the interior is boldly splashed with bubbly gold glaze, which will provide a mesmerizing sight for the viewer when sake is poured inside. (There is a small glaze flake within the red circle on the rim shown in photo 5.)\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-zan) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 15.1cm × Diameter 13.3cm × Height 8.6cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo. He began studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki in June 2011 and became independent in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, in January 2015.","brand":"市川 透","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618605027425,"sku":"4395","price":30240.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/4395.jpg?v=1790239034","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p4395","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
