{"product_id":"p4637","title":"Shuten will-Au \"Signal\"","description":"This is a brand new sake cup, \"Signal,\" from the will-Au series, freshly fired by Toru Ichikawa, who made a stunning debut after studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. It is an exceptionally creative work that exemplifies Ichikawa's style of giving shape to his endless stream of ideas through the supreme medium of clay. This new \"Signal\" series sake cup features a pastel-colored *kairagi* (plum blossom crackle) glaze, layered with a celadon glaze accented with gold leaf—as denoted by \"Au\" (the Latin word for gold)—creating a vibrant, pop-inspired color scheme. The pastel blue *kairagi* glaze has a scale-like presence that accentuates the piece's surface texture, lending it a remarkable three-dimensional quality. Conversely, the celadon glazed sections evoke the atmosphere of polished crystal or ore, and the complex interplay between these two contrasting textures and visual identities creates a mysterious appearance, as if crystal and leather have melted together. One cannot help but be amazed by Ichikawa's technique, which creates not only a delightful combination of colors but also a compelling contrast of textures.\n\nSigned box to follow (please allow some time for shipment)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.9cm × Diameter 6.0cm × Height 7.5cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
