{"product_id":"p7161","title":"Kuroshuten","description":"This is a newly fired black sake cup by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who studied pottery techniques under Ryuichi Kakurezaki and continues his research in Kamigori, Hyogo Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, fired in November 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMr. Oiwa aims for intense firing in his process. The high heat causes the applied slip to transform into a magnificent black, achieving a lustrous, clear black color similar to the works of his mentor, Mr. Kakurezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, this piece goes beyond that; it features a vivid, light blue kiln transformation. The extremely clear scenery is reminiscent of *hikidashiguro* (pulled-black ware), creating a truly wondrous effect.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bold form, which makes heavy use of *shinogi* (fluting), creates fine ridges and grooves in the clay surface, and the translucent light blue kiln transformation gains delicate shading through these contours.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe design, which incorporates and expresses his mentor's tripod style, is intriguing, and Mr. Oiwa's dedication overflows from the foot to the rim.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (please note that it will take some time before shipment).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.4cm × 7.3cm × Height 6.4cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTomoyuki Oiwa was born in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture in 1977.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe completed the Bizen Pottery Center program in 2004 and studied under Ryuichi Kakurezaki in 2005.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe established his own studio in Hyogo Prefecture in 2014.","brand":"大岩智之","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618089947233,"sku":"7161","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7161.jpg?v=1790232292","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7161","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
