{"product_id":"p6514","title":"Hidasuki Teacup","description":"This is a Hidasuki yunomi by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense while having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was taken from the kiln in September 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike those of Sozan Kaneshige, it was fired in a custom-built electric kiln capable of being used in conjunction with wood firing, requiring as much, if not more, time and effort as a traditional climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe moist, soft texture of the mugusa-colored clay surface clearly reflects the techniques inherited from his mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, a vast amount of black mineral flecks from the clay components have emerged on the surface; when held in the hand, the density of these specks is such that they catch the light, adding a profound, washi-paper-like presence to the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe hidasuki (fire-cord) markings have evolved into a minimalist, wabi-inspired application, with thin, streaky lines creating an indescribable expression.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nConversely, on the inside, the hidasuki is applied as if carpeting the base of the vessel, demonstrating a deliberate attention to how the markings appear when the cup is in use.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm x 7.8cm x Height 8.4cm\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 starting in 1989 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, in 1996 and held his first firing the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has continued to hold annual solo exhibitions since then.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Art Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618718535777,"sku":"6514","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6514.jpg?v=1790241190","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6514","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
