{"product_id":"p6318","title":"Ibe Large Plate","description":"This large Bizen ware platter is by Kosuke Yashiro, who spent his years as an apprentice dreaming of working with Bizen ware in Imbe, finally realizing his long-held ambition of building his own kiln there and making his debut.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a straightforward, authentic piece of Bizen ware that reflects Yashiro's dedication, having chosen Bizen pottery as his life's work after falling in love with the pieces created by the many potters who were born in and lived their lives in the region of Imbe.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe magnificent \"haikaburi\" (ash-covered) yohen effect—a star of Bizen pottery—is quintessentially Yashiro, who proudly asserts that there is deep significance in crafting Bizen ware within the environment of Imbe itself.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire piece was fired as if buried in embers, and beneath the soft gray ash-covered yohen characteristic of an anagama climbing kiln, one can see the faintly reddish, soft yellow clay texture created by the traditional \"botamochi\" firing technique.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe firing is perfectly balanced—neither too intense nor too mild—demonstrating careful consideration for not only its visual beauty but also its practicality and sense of cleanliness.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 29.8cm x 29.7cm x Height 3.0cm\n\nKosuke Yashiro was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido in 1979.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAround 2000, he began his apprenticeship under various kilns and masters in Imbe, Bizen City.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn September 2016, he built his own kiln in Imbe and became an independent potter.","brand":"屋代剛右","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618715521121,"sku":"6318","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6318.jpg?v=1790241048","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6318","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
