{"product_id":"p7717","title":"Ibe Konoha-zara (Leaf-shaped plate)","description":"This is a Bizen ware leaf-shaped dish by Gosuke Yashiro, who spent his formative years working toward the dream of dedicating himself to Bizen ware in the town of Imbe, and finally realized his long-held ambition by building his own kiln there and making his debut.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe piece is a quintessential example of Bizen ware, reflecting Yashiro's devotion to the works of the many potters who were born and passed away in Imbe, a passion that led him to make Bizen pottery his life's work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFeaturing a slightly bluish-grey *kase-goma* (dry sesame-like ash glaze) combined with a rich, matte clay texture, the piece evokes the atmosphere of the *yama-tsuchi* (mountain clay) era works of Arihime Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition, the well-distributed small pebbles in the clay give the *yakishime* (unglazed stoneware) surface a more nuanced character, with pebbles shifting alongside the spatula marks or peeking through the potter's wheel lines, demonstrating masterful craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr the interior and base feature fresh orange-colored left uncolored by ash that resemble turning autumn leaves which will surely reveal an astonishing transformation when they absorb moisture during use.\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWe have additional pieces of the same shape and firing in stock, so please feel free to contact us if you would like to purchase a set.\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nLength 18.5cm x Width 14.7cm x Height 6.3cm\n\nGosuke Yashiro was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, in 1979.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAround the year 2000, he began his training under various kiln masters and artists in Imbe, Bizen City.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn September 2016, he built his own kiln in Imbe and became an independent artist.","brand":"屋代剛右","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618205716577,"sku":"7717","price":7150.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7717.jpg?v=1790233148","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7717","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
