{"product_id":"p7247","title":"Bizen Hidasuki tea bowl","description":"This is a Bizen hidaski tea bowl from an earlier period by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nA ceramic history up to 2014 is enclosed, suggesting the piece was created around that time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike Sozan Kaneshige, the artist fires his work in a custom-made electric kiln that allows for combined wood firing, requiring as much or even more time and effort as a climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe interior features a surface expression created by a circular hidaski pattern covering the tea reservoir, while the exterior delights the eye with the fiery scarlet color of the hidaski running wildly across the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe moist, soft texture of the mugusa-colored clay body makes it clear that he has truly inherited the techniques of his mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, a multitude of black specks, caused by the clay's composition, have surfaced across the piece; they are abundant enough to reflect light when held in the hand, adding a profound presence similar to Japanese washi paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe base features spatula marks carved as if tanning the clay, which, combined with the relaxed design favored by Sozan Kaneshige, makes for a truly impressive piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough it is an older work, there are no stains or signs of use.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 13.2cm x 13.0cm x Height 8.6cm\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 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige for seven years starting in 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built a 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 Chanoyu Zokei-ten (Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618105675873,"sku":"7247","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7247.jpg?v=1790232420","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7247","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
