{"product_id":"p6313","title":"Ibe Shuten","description":"This is an Ibe sake cup (guinomi) by Kosuke Yashiro, an artist who spent his apprenticeship dreaming of working with Bizen ware in the land of Ibe, and who has finally realized his long-held ambition by building his own kiln and debuting there.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a straightforward piece of Bizen ware, true to Yashiro’s character, who fell in love with the works of the many potters who were born and passed away in Ibe and dedicated his life to Bizen pottery.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the overall color is quite understated and rustic, it possesses the distinct, atmospheric charm that defines true Bizen ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe faint grey \"kase-goma\" (dry ash glaze) on the rim and interior complements the rich, brownish clay texture perfectly, effectively bringing out the qualities of Bizen ware made from local rice-paddy clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe piece clearly reflects Yashiro’s characteristic meticulousness, offering both the ease of use that comes with thin-walled construction and a visually impressive form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that because the clay is relatively porous, liquid may seep through if left inside for extended periods.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included (*A paulownia wood box can be made separately for an additional 1,500 yen).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.5cm × 7.4cm × Height 5.7cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 800 yen will be automatically added at checkout.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nKosuke Yashiro was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido in 1979.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAround the year 2000, he began training under various kiln masters and artists in Ibe, Bizen City.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn September 2016, he built his own kiln in Ibe and became an independent artist.","brand":"屋代剛右","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618046726241,"sku":"6313","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6313.jpg?v=1790231428","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6313","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
