{"product_id":"p5791","title":"Bizen ware bowl","description":"This Bizen bowl is by Masao Akitani, an artist who studied under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and creates works full of unique originality with a fresh sensibility. The bowl is characterized by its vibrant scenery created through the traditional anagama (tunnel kiln) firing method of the Isezaki school; while the form is simple, the beauty of the clay surface is its greatest highlight. The interior features a vivid hidasuki (fire-cord) pattern that appears like flames on the verge of erupting, evoking the scene inside the kiln with dancing crimson flames and sparks. On the exterior, a subtle, cool-toned kase-goma (crusty ash glaze) emerges over a beautiful, clean white surface. Though the shape is quite simple, the brilliant and dynamic scenery of the anagama firing takes center stage, resulting in a refined bowl.\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 20.6cm x 20.3cm x Height 8.3cm\n\nMasao Akitani was born in Saitama in 1968.
