{"product_id":"p6811","title":"Bizen ware small bowl","description":"This Bizen small bowl was created by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own unique style without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCrafted using the high-quality rice-field clay characteristic of Koriki’s work, the chocolate-colored surface has a subtle sheen so smooth it almost feels as if it might melt to the touch.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe center of the interior features a \"nuke\" (clear space) created by the hidasuki (fire-cord) technique; while this was a clever solution to utilize space within the kiln, the combination of the sesame glaze and the hidasuki creates a sense of refined beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition to the hidasuki, yellow sesame glaze carried by the hot air has firmly adhered to the interior, combining with the deep shiso-purple tones to produce the profound, atmospheric landscape characteristic of Bizen ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDetails such as the katakuchi (spouted) design and the carving of the foot reveal the meticulous craftsmanship of Koriki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.5cm × 10.8cm × Height 5.9cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen applies.\u003cbr\u003e\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\nIn 1996, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, 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 continued to hold annual solo exhibitions since then.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Chanoyu Zokei Exhibition (Ceramic Forms for Tea Ceremony) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618725482593,"sku":"6811","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6811.jpg?v=1790241396","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6811","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
