{"product_id":"p6520","title":"Hidasuki Mug","description":"This is a Hidasuki mug by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite 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, this piece was fired in a custom electric kiln capable of being used in conjunction with wood firing, requiring as much, if not more, time and effort as a climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe moist, soft texture of the mugusa-colored clay surface demonstrates that he has firmly inherited the techniques of his mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the surface is covered with an abundance of black particles derived from the clay's composition; when held in the light, the density of these particles is enough to catch the reflection, adding a profound presence reminiscent of Japanese washi paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the mug features a wide base and a relaxed overall form, the rim and handle are crafted to be thin, ensuring ease of use.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.6cm × 9.0cm × Height 6.8cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen applies.\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 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige for seven years starting in 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to begin his independent career, firing his first kiln 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.\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":46618718666849,"sku":"6520","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6520.jpg?v=1790241196","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6520","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
