{"product_id":"p6031","title":"Hidasuki Polka-dot Teacup","description":"This is a Bizen Hidasuki \"polka-dot\" yunomi tea cup by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense while having apprenticed under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest piece was taken from the kiln in June 2020 and belongs to Koriki's original polka-dot series.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFired in a custom-built electric kiln capable of wood-firing techniques, it is baked over the same duration as a traditional climbing kiln, resulting in a moist texture and a rich, deep-seated crimson Hidasuki coloring that clearly reflects the techniques inherited from his masters.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHaving turned fifty and embarking on a fresh chapter in his ceramic practice, Koriki has shifted the atmosphere of his polka-dot works from his previous flamboyant style toward a more \"wabi\" aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTo complement the subtle, hazy polka-dot pattern, the straw-wrapping technique is quite understated, with the Hidasuki markings left only sparingly within the interior of the cup.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a piece with deep character that can be enjoyed even by those who are not fond of vivid or intense Hidasuki patterns.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.7cm × 7.7cm × Height 8.9cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Shipping fee is 500 yen.\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from high school, he apprenticed under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige for seven years starting in 1989 to study pottery.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and became independent in 1996, firing his first kiln the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held solo exhibitions every year since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Art Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618704805985,"sku":"6031","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6031.jpg?v=1790240798","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6031","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
