{"product_id":"p6359","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"These are newly fired Bizen rice bowls by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese are the latest works, having just been removed from the kiln in September 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor these rice bowls, a higher proportion of mountain clay was used, providing a coarse, matte texture that offers a unique appeal distinct from that of paddy field clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs for the firing, the artist aimed for a finish that avoids kiln-altered effects; the vivid orange color of the clay evokes the style of his mentor, Yuho Kaneshige, and while these are rice bowls, they are so beautiful that one cannot help but want to use them for matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall stones contained within the mountain clay have surfaced during the firing process, adding an exquisite, weathered character to the unpretentious, Nanban-style unglazed surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese pieces are crafted thinner than his previous works, making them lighter and easier to use while maintaining the durability characteristic of Bizen ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen rice bowls prevent rice from sticking and absorb moisture, which keeps the rice tasting delicious.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.9cm x 12.4cm x Height 7.0cm\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 studied ceramics for seven years under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige starting in 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, in 1996 to establish his independence, 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, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Molding Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618716045409,"sku":"6359","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6359.jpg?v=1790241073","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6359","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
