{"product_id":"p6795","title":"Bizen Hidasuki Polka Dot Teacup","description":"This Bizen Hidaski polka-dot teacup is the work of Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative path without pretense while having studied under the masters Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a teacup from Koriki-sensei's original polka-dot Hidaski series.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFired in a custom-made electric kiln capable of wood-firing, the piece is fired for a duration comparable to that of an anagama climbing kiln. The moist texture and the deep, rich coloring of the Hidaski that seems to soak into the very core of the clay reveal how faithfully he has inherited the techniques of his masters.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNow having reached the age of fifty and renewed in his dedication to the path of pottery, recent works by Koriki-sensei show a shift in the atmosphere of his polka-dot Hidaski pieces; the vibrant style of the past has evolved toward a more wabi-sabi, refined aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nComplementing the soft, hazy polka-dot patterns, the straw-wrapping has been applied quite sparingly, with the Hidaski subtly left on the interior and the rim.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a deeply tasteful piece that can be enjoyed even by those who are not fond of overly vivid or intense Hidaski.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.2cm x 8.2cm x Height 7.1cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Shipping fee is 500 yen.\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Akō City, Hyōgo 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 establish his independence, 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, his work was selected for the Tea Ceremony Art Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618724827233,"sku":"6795","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6795.jpg?v=1790241390","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6795","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
