{"product_id":"p4646","title":"Shuten will-Pinkgold \"Oiran Geisha\"","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired sake cup, \"Oiran гейша (Geisha),\" by Toru Ichikawa, who made a striking debut after studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. It is a highly original and exceptional piece, characteristic of Ichikawa-sensei, who gives shape to his endlessly overflowing ideas through the supreme medium of clay. In addition to \"Oiran,\" the title includes \"гейша,\" the Russian word for Geisha, expressing a magnificent and resplendent world created by layering glazes over gold and platinum gilding. By applying a pale glaze over the gold gilding, he has succeeded in drawing out a mysterious, iridescent hue. On the front, a pale yellow sits atop the gold gilding, while the interior features a pale crimson. This style of glazing, which is as if the piece is wearing multiple layers of glaze like garments, is fascinating and truly fitting for the title, reminiscent of a Geisha dressed in flamboyant attire. The black glaze, with its fine, intense *kairagi* (plum blossom crackle) texture, beautifully accentuates the delicately colored gilded sections. (*As shown in photo 7, it appears pale yellow under natural light.)\n\nSigned box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for shipping)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.2cm x Diameter 6.8cm x Height 5.9cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
