{"product_id":"p7170","title":"Bizen Yohen Sake Cup","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen yohen sake cup by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who studied pottery under Ryuichi Kakurezaki and is now dedicated to his craft in Kamigori, Hyogo Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work was removed from the kiln in November 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMr. Oiwa aims for intense firing in his process, and this piece, despite being fired in an anagama kiln, is a masterpiece featuring ash-covered yohen (kiln transformation).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ash-covered yohen from the anagama kiln creates a bright overall appearance, and the front in particular offers a variety of colors characteristic of yohen, such as nuke (spots where the glaze didn't stick), kumadori (shading), and ash-covered yohen.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOn the side of the front, the intense firing has melted the natural glaze into a glass-like state, creating what is commonly known as \"namako-hada\" (sea cucumber skin), which provides both visual intrigue and a pleasing texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece features a distinct silhouette that combines the design of his mentor Ryuichi Kakurezaki's tripod sake cup with an inverted triangular glass shape.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (please note that it will take some time before shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.3cm x 6.3cm x Height 7.0cm\n\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 from 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":46618091651169,"sku":"7170","price":17600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7170.jpg?v=1790232305","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7170","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
