{"product_id":"p6756","title":"Hidasuki tea cup","description":"This is a Hidasuki yunomi (tea cup) by Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was fired in May 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt was fired using a custom-made electric kiln that also allows for wood firing, requiring as much, if not more, time and effort as a traditional climbing kiln, much like the process used by Sozan Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe moist, soft texture of the mugusa-colored clay surface demonstrates how thoroughly he has inherited the techniques of his mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, a vast number of black iron spots from the clay have surfaced; when held in the light, the density of these particles is enough to catch the reflection, adding a profound presence reminiscent of Japanese washi paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe base is adorned with dignified braided-fence (higaki) patterns, which, combined with the tall design, give this tea cup a sense of stateliness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditionally, the straw wrapped around the base has fired into a vivid color, creating a three-dimensional landscape in harmony with the aforementioned braided-fence pattern.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.2cm x 8.2cm x Height 9.3cm\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 studied ceramics for seven years starting in 1989 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to go independent, and held his first firing the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000, and has continued to hold them annually ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Art Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618723188833,"sku":"6756","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6756.jpg?v=1790241370","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6756","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
