{"product_id":"p6667","title":"Bizen sake bottle","description":"This is a Bizen sake flask by the timeless master Ken Fujiwara, a man who possessed both boldness and meticulousness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCreated during his climbing kiln period, this is a simple sake flask composed entirely of natural ash glaze (goma) and the texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe goma—which it is no exaggeration to call the very essence of Bizen ware—is rendered in a simple yet profound landscape, brought out by the careful kiln firing characteristic of Fujiwara.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe deep, rich clay quality inherited from his mentor, Toyo Kaneshige, appears at first glance to be a single uniform color, but displays subtle variations depending on the area, reminding one once again of the depth and fascinating transformation of Bizen clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe round turnip-shaped form, which could be called Fujiwara's signature style, fits well in the hand, while the slightly thick neck reflects the style of Fujiwara himself, who was known to be a heavy drinker.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slatted lid)included\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.3cm x Body diameter 9.4cm x Body diameter 9.3cm x Height 12.0cm Capacity: approx. 350cc\n\nKen Fujiwara (1924–1977) began his pottery career in 1946 under his uncle, Kei Fujiwara, and also studied under Toyo Kaneshige and Sozan Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe also learned tableware production under Rosanjin Kitaoji in Kamakura.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1956, he built his own kiln in Honami, Bizen City, and became an independent artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThereafter, his work was selected for various exhibitions in succession.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1970, he designed and built a large kiln using modern refractory bricks.","brand":"藤原 建","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618059866209,"sku":"6667","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6667.jpg?v=1790231725","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6667","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
