{"product_id":"p5818","title":"Hidasuki tea cup","description":"This Hidasuki tea cup, freshly fired just the other day, is the work of Tomio Ochi, who pours his lingering aspirations into his pottery while working silently at the kiln under the tutelage of Anjin Abe. It is a solid, profound piece that has been fired to a high degree of hardness, possessing a power that feels as though the clay itself has been condensed to a high density. The Hidasuki (fire-cord) markings, which cover more surface area than the raw clay, are a testament to Ochi’s signature technique, appearing to soak viscously into the clay body. It is a large, generous tea cup, making it a versatile piece suitable for a variety of uses.\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.4cm x 8.3cm x Height 8.9cm\n\nTomio Ochi was born in Ehime Prefecture in 1949 and graduated from Niihama Technical High School in Ehime Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom 1969, while working at a company, he devoted himself to studying painting and sculpture at Taka Art School.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1976, he received instruction from Anjin Abe while serving as a kiln-firing assistant in Ehime Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1998, he built his own kiln on the grounds of Anjin Abe's studio in Ushimado, Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe approaches Bizen pottery with a technique informed by his background in sculpture and painting.","brand":"越智富雄","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618690224225,"sku":"5818","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5818.jpg?v=1790240572","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p5818","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
