{"product_id":"p6598","title":"Bizen ware petal-rimmed bowl","description":"This Bizen rinka (fluted) bowl is the work of Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under the masters Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was fired in September 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCrafted using the high-quality rice field clay typical of Koriki’s work, the chocolate-colored surface possesses a subtle sheen so smooth that it almost feels as if it might melt under one's touch.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe center of the interior features a \"nuke\" (a space protected from the ash) decorated with a hidasuki (fire cord) pattern; while this is a technique used to make effective use of space within the kiln, the combination of sesame glaze and hidasuki creates a refined sense of beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition to the hidasuki, yellow sesame glaze carried by the kiln's hot air has adhered firmly to the interior, blending with the rich perilla-purple tones to create a profound landscape characteristic of Bizen ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach line is meticulously carved and the edges are carefully folded to form the fluted shape, a testament to the astonishing precision of Koriki’s craftsmanship.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 14.0cm x 13.9cm x Height 6.0cm\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 spent seven years from 1989 studying ceramics under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and achieved his independence, firing 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 Chanoyu Zokei-ten (Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618058063969,"sku":"6598","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6598.jpg?v=1790231672","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6598","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
