{"product_id":"p7806","title":"Teacup","description":"This is a yunomi (tea cup) by Seishi Mori, a master who named his kiln \"Shakuyo\" (Blazing Sun) and crafted his works as if pouring prayers into the clay, acting as an antithesis to consumer society.\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue to the name \"Shakuyo,\" this piece features the rich, vivid scarlet that defined Seishi-sensei’s life's work—a color that appears as if the intensity of the kiln’s glowing fire has yet to cool.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe secret lies in the *hidasuki* (fire-cord) technique and prolonged high-temperature firing; the vaporized components of the straw coat the entire piece, creating the viscous, oil-painting-like scarlet characteristic of Seishi’s works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form is also uniquely identifiable as Seishi-sensei’s; while one might initially mistake the pattern for regular lines resembling bamboo joints, the random lines stretching diagonally create an aura of chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn a modern society where ideals and philosophies are quickly consumed as mere symbols, this is an energetic tea cup into which prayers, wishes, and anger have all been poured into the clay.\n\nIncludes signed wooden box (with two-way struts).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.2cm x 8.0cm x Height 9.4cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*The original ceramic biography and signed cloth are not included (we will include a plain cloth from our shop).\n\nSeishi Mori was born in 1944 into the Mori family, one of the six traditional Bizen ware families.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from university, he entered the world of ceramics in 1969, studying under his father, Chikuzan Mori, and his older brother, Tozan Mori.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe established his own semi-underground anagama kiln in 1975, and subsequently held solo exhibitions across Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe passed away in 2011.","brand":"森 青史","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618209615969,"sku":"7806","price":11000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7806.jpg?v=1790233288","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7806","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
