{"product_id":"p4899","title":"Shuten \"Consciousness\"","description":"This is \"Consciousness,\" a new sake cup by Toru Ichikawa, who made a striking debut after training under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. It is an exceptionally inventive work, characteristic of Ichikawa-sensei, who gives shape to his ceaseless flow of ideas through the supreme medium of clay. The title \"Consciousness\" is truly philosophical, as is typical of Ichikawa-sensei. The contrast between the vivid red clay body and the matte black glaze, which appears as if molten copper has been poured over it, is highly impressive. The gold and platinum accents are applied in soft, flowing strokes like flickering consciousness, likely representing the theme of this piece. The base is inlaid with a black and white taijitu (yin-yang) symbol, a truly eccentric design fitting for a work titled \"Consciousness.\"\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.7cm x Diameter 7.1cm x Height 6.3cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo. He began studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki in June 2011 and established his own studio in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, in January 2015.","brand":"市川 透","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618665189473,"sku":"4899","price":20844.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/4899.jpg?v=1790239621","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p4899","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
