{"product_id":"p7179","title":"Kuroshuten","description":"This is a brand new black sake cup fresh from the kiln by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who studied pottery techniques under Ryuichi Kakizaki and continues his research in Kamigori, Hyogo Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is the latest work, fired in November 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMr. Oiwa aims for intense firing in his process, and the high heat transforms the black slip into a magnificent color, resulting in a clear, lustrous black that rivals the black works of his mentor, Mr. Kakizaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, this piece also exhibits a vivid, striking light-blue kiln transformation. The remarkably clear color landscape is reminiscent of pulled black (*hikidashi-guro*) ware, making it truly extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bold form, which makes frequent use of carved facets (*shinogi*), creates fine ridges and grooves in the clay surface, and the transparent light-blue kiln transformation gains delicate shades through these textures.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form is also fascinating, incorporating and expressing his mentor's signature \"waist-tightened\" (*dojime*) design, with Mr. Oiwa's attention to detail evident from the foot to the rim.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.7cm x 6.7cm x Height 6.5cm\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 began studying under Ryuichi Kakizaki 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":46618092994657,"sku":"7179","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7179.jpg?v=1790232316","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7179","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
