{"product_id":"p6652","title":"Hidasuki teacup","description":"This is a newly fired *hidaski* (fire-cord) teacup by Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, just removed from the kiln in May 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a deeply flavorful climbing-kiln *hidaski* teacup, fired slowly while sealed inside a sagger to prevent the adhesion of natural ash glaze.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA departure from the conventional combination of *mogusa* clay and *hidaski* fired in an electric kiln, the faint bluish tint of the clay surface is punctuated by tiny particles of natural glaze that have subtly penetrated the surface, creating dark spots. In contrast to the elegant and vibrant *mogusa hidaski*, this piece offers a rustic and refined aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt the same time, true to Yoshiteru Koriki’s meticulous approach to clay preparation, the surface itself is remarkably smooth and moist, offering a texture that rivals the quality of works fired in electric kilns.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThough a teacup, it is quite large with a wide diameter, and features sophisticated craftsmanship, including a *wari-kodai* (split foot) base.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are traces of natural glaze and straw adhesion from the firing process on the rim, but these have been carefully treated and present no issues for use.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.8cm x 8.8cm x Height 8.4cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen will be charged.\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 became independent in 1996, building his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and 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 Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618721386593,"sku":"6652","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6652.jpg?v=1790241298","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6652","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
