{"product_id":"p6679","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"This is a brand new Bizen rice bowl, fresh from the kiln, created by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense while having apprenticed under both Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work was just taken out of the kiln in May 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular rice bowl uses a larger proportion of mountain clay, giving it a coarse, matte texture that offers a unique appeal distinct from that of rice-field clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe firing also makes the most of the mountain clay's characteristics; the vibrant orange color of the clay is reminiscent of his mentor Yuho Kaneshige, and although it is a rice bowl, it makes one want to use it for drinking matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall stones contained in the mountain clay have emerged from the surface during the firing, adding a subtle, weathered elegance to the unpretentious Nanban-style unglazed texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is crafted thinner than his previous works, maintaining the durability characteristic of Bizen ware while remaining light and easy to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen rice bowls prevent rice from sticking easily, and the vessel absorbs excess moisture, making the rice taste even better.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.6cm x 12.1cm x Height 6.7cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*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 for seven years starting in 1989 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built an anagama climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to become an independent artist, 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 first time for the Chanoyu Zokei Exhibition (Exhibition of Ceramics for Tea).","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618721812577,"sku":"6679","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6679.jpg?v=1790241320","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6679","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
