{"product_id":"p6278","title":"Bizen tea bowl","description":"This is a Bizen tea bowl by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under the masters Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe balance between the scarlet hue (hi-iro) and ash covering (haikaburi) is masterfully achieved, resulting in a kiln-altered (yohen) tea bowl that almost makes you want to use it as a sake vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue to Koriki-sensei’s signature style of bringing out the character of the clay through daring, risk-taking kiln firing, the exterior features a deep black ash-covered kiln alteration that resembles damp charcoal, while the area around the foot displays a more matte, parched-looking ash-covered texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the scarlet hue of the Kaneshige school generally approaches white as it is fired more intensely, this piece succeeded in retaining a rich scarlet tone despite being fired strongly, thanks to reaching the perfect firing timing in a very limited area.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis beautiful scarlet color is also prominent in the interior (mikomi), where the vivid green of tea is sure to look truly striking against the red.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nInheriting the techniques and philosophy of Sozan Kaneshige, known as a master of tea ceramics, the bowl is light and easy to handle while maintaining a commanding presence of earthenware in the palm, resulting in an orthodox yet dignified tea bowl.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.0cm × 11.9cm × Height 8.0cm\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from high school, he studied ceramics for seven years starting in 1989 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to go independent, and fired 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, his work was selected for the Tea Ceremony Art Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618045349985,"sku":"6278","price":50000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6278.jpg?v=1790231400","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6278","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
