{"product_id":"p6545","title":"Bizen ware mug","description":"This Bizen mug is by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision 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\nIt is a wonderful mug that allows you to enjoy the authentic scenery of climbing kiln firing at an affordable price.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBy firing the piece with an abundance of fuel, a luster has developed across the surface, which, combined with the color of the clay, creates a look reminiscent of melted chocolate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the aforementioned luster creates a coating-like effect, ensuring the mug is stress-free to use, despite being made of earthenware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause it was fired at the front of the climbing kiln, the front is adorned with a generous amount of \"goma\" (ash glaze), which provides a brighter accent that enhances the rich character of the clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRelatively large for a mug, its size is close to that of a beer mug, making it suitable for use year-round, such as chilling it beforehand to enjoy a cold beer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.8cm x 9.3cm x Height 9.3cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that there is a shipping fee of 500 yen.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\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\nIn 1996, he built a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to work independently, 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":46618719092833,"sku":"6545","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6545.jpg?v=1790241215","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6545","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
