{"product_id":"p5744","title":"Ibe octagonal bowl","description":"This is an Ibe-ware octagonal bowl by Kosuke Yashiro, who spent his formative years working as an apprentice while dreaming of pursuing Bizen ware in Ibe, finally realizing his long-held goal of building his own kiln there and making his debut. This piece is a quintessential Bizen ware, reflecting Yashiro-sensei’s dedication to a craft he chose as his life's work, inspired by his deep admiration for the many potters who were born, raised, and passed away in Ibe. While the overall color palette is very understated and refined, it possesses a sophisticated aesthetic that is the very essence of Bizen ware. The slightly bluish-gray *kase-goma* (dry sesame glaze) pairs beautifully with the faintly reddish clay body, reminiscent of the works produced by Yuho Kaneshige during his \"mountain clay\" period. The bowl has a bit of depth, making it suitable for serving dishes with sauce. Its simple octagonal design is versatile and unpretentious, ensuring it will serve as an excellent supporting player for any dish or setting. (*Note: The clay is slightly porous, so leaving liquid in it for extended periods may cause some seepage.)\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 16.2cm x 16.1cm x Height 4.1cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Shipping fee is 500 yen.\n\nKosuke Yashiro was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, in 1979.
