{"product_id":"p7074","title":"Hidasuki tea cup","description":"This is a new Hidasuki tea cup by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretension, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work was just removed from the kiln in June 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt was fired using a custom-made electric kiln that allows for supplemental wood firing, requiring as much or even more time and effort as a traditional climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe moist, soft texture of the mugwort-colored clay surface demonstrates how well he has inherited the techniques of his mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, a multitude of black specks, caused by the composition of the clay, have emerged on the surface; when held in the hand, they are abundant enough to catch the light, adding a profound presence reminiscent of Japanese washi paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe application of the Hidasuki (fire-cord) pattern also shows great ingenuity, with variations in thickness, straight lines, and curves, aiming to create an engaging aesthetic without overwhelming the piece with too much pattern.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a small tea cup known as a \"kumidashi,\" featuring a sturdy foot, making it an interesting choice to use as a large sake cup as well.\n\nNo box included (*a paulownia wood box can be made separately)\nDiameter 8.4cm x 8.4cm x Height 6.7cm\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 became independent, building a 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 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":46618077331553,"sku":"7074","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7074.jpg?v=1790232184","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7074","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
