{"product_id":"p6155","title":"Onishino Shuten","description":"This is an Oni-Shino sake cup by Takashi Baba, an artist born in Imbe who has loved Bizen ware since childhood and finds his life's joy in creating works and firing his kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was removed from the kiln around November 2020. It is a unique work created by applying Shino glaze to Shino clay and firing it in a Bizen climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the base is consistent with traditional Shino ware, the overlapping effects of the climbing kiln firing create a new series that offers infinite variations to enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe most striking feature of this work is its scenery, reminiscent of Kuro-Oribe, with the black areas exhibiting a highly complex depth similar to that of a Bizen \"hikidashi-guro\" (drawn-out black) piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRetaining the soft, beautiful colors characteristic of feldspathic Shino glazes, it combines them with the black tones—showing variations akin to iron or persimmon glazes—produced by the climbing kiln firing, resulting in a dynamic, deep glaze texture worthy of the name \"Oni-Shino.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts orthodox form, combined with the texture of the glaze, makes it very comfortable to use.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow at a later date (we kindly ask for your patience as shipping may take some time).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm x 7.9cm x Height 6.1cm\n\nTakashi Baba was born in 1983 as the eldest son of Bizen ceramic artist Shosuke Baba.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDetermined to become a ceramic artist from a young age, he chose to study sculpture in university to broaden his perspective on ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2006, he graduated from the Tokyo University of the Arts with a degree in sculpture and then honed his skills at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Culture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe became independent in 2007 and held his first solo exhibition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is currently active, primarily holding solo exhibitions at department stores.","brand":"馬場隆志","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618709885025,"sku":"6155","price":13200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6155.jpg?v=1790240903","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6155","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
