{"product_id":"p7724","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"This Bizen rice bowl is the work of Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under the masters Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nCrafted using high-quality mountain clay characteristic of Koriki-sensei’s work, the chocolate-colored clay surface has a subtle sheen that is so evocative, you might mistake it for something that would melt to the touch.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlaced on the top tier during the stacked firing process, the interior is covered in a heavy \"sesame\" ash glaze, which pairs perfectly with the rich, chocolate-toned clay body described above.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the fine-grained texture of the sesame ash inside creates a surface reminiscent of a fine file, making this an ideal rice bowl as it prevents rice from sticking and allows excess moisture to be absorbed into the clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece is relatively thinner than his previous works, making it lighter and easier to use while still retaining the characteristic durability of Bizen ware.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.8cm x 11.4cm x Height 6.2cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that 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 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige, beginning in 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, 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, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Molding Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618205945953,"sku":"7724","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7724.jpg?v=1790233159","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7724","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
