{"product_id":"p7203","title":"Bizen Rice Bowl","description":"This Bizen rice bowl is by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular rice bowl uses a higher proportion of mountain clay, giving it a rough, matte texture that offers a different appeal from field clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the firing process, he has leveraged the characteristics of the mountain clay to give the entire piece a unique luster; although it is a rice bowl, it makes one want to use it to enjoy matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe small stones contained in the mountain clay emerge from the surface due to the kiln firing, adding an exquisite sense of wabi-sabi to the unpretentious, Nanban-style unglazed surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is crafted thinner than his previous works, making it light and easy to use while retaining the durability characteristic of Bizen ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen rice bowls prevent rice from sticking, and because the vessel absorbs moisture, it keeps the rice delicious.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.9cm x 11.7cm x Height 7.2cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*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 built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to become independent, 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 Molding Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618097385569,"sku":"7203","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7203.jpg?v=1790232351","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7203","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
