{"product_id":"p7372","title":"Bizen Sake Ware","description":"This is an Ibe sake vessel by Megumi Sueda, a female ceramic artist who studied under Anjin Abe and captivated fans with her unique works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSueda-sensei is currently on hiatus, and this piece was created around 2015.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile it possesses the profound form and firing characteristic of her mentor, Anjin Abe, the softness of the surface and the meticulous attention to detail reflect a delicacy typical of a female artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is an \"Ibe-te\" piece, created by applying a distinct, iron-rich clay over the body before firing. Rather than following the recent trend of using cobalt-infused black Bizen, this technique follows the traditional Old Bizen Ibe-te style, which produces a unique texture reminiscent of ironware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe brown surface, with its unique depth and understated elegance resembling the aforementioned ironware, is adorned with yellow \"goma\" (ash glaze) created through the \"yasumi-daki\" (rest-firing) technique inherited from her mentor, achieving a one-of-a-kind style that blends both splendor and gravity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue to the name \"Hanae-gama,\" bestowed by her teacher Anjin Abe, the form, which resembles a budding flower, is incredibly stylish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is an unused item that was purchased new and kept carefully in storage.\n\nOriginal signed box (shiho-zan)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.0cm × 6.5cm × Height 5.8cm\n\nMegumi Sueda graduated from the Faculty of Law and Literature at Shimane University in 1990.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2001, she completed the program at the Okuizumo Pottery Research Institute, affiliated with the Shimane Design College.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the same year, she began her apprenticeship under Anjin Abe.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, she built her own fully subterranean anagama kiln, \"Hanae-gama,\" in Yokota-cho, Nita District, Shimane Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShe began holding group exhibitions in Tokyo that same year, and has since focused her career on group and solo exhibitions.","brand":"末田 恵","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618133626977,"sku":"7372","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7372.jpg?v=1790232612","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7372","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
