{"product_id":"p5540","title":"Gradated Gold-Leaf Tea Cup","description":"This is a new *susogo* (gradated) tea cup by Koji Nakahara, who studied under Fumio Kawabata and aims to create works that suit modern life. The entire piece is covered in a beautiful gold glaze called *susogo kinsai*, with an exquisite color scheme featuring a surface that gleams like white silver transitioning into a deep black. In the center of the work, there is a mysterious circular gold pattern that looks almost like a fingerprint, lending the piece an air of mystery, much like a unique, shining golden emblem. The dimpled surface, reminiscent of a golf ball, is not only interesting to look at but, combined with the textured feel of the *susogo* gold glaze, gives the piece an exotic atmosphere similar to ancient ritual vessels while also making it very easy to hold.\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.7cm × 7.6cm × Height 8.2cm\n\nKoji Nakahara was born in Osaka Prefecture in 1978.
