{"product_id":"p7817","title":"Bizen bowl","description":"This is a new Bizen bowl, fresh from the kiln, by Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative vision without pretense while having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, just removed from the kiln in September 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis bowl was crafted using a higher proportion of mountain clay; the matte texture, rich with small pebbles, offers a different kind of appeal compared to rice paddy clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs for the firing, it takes advantage of the inherent durability of mountain clay. The exterior features a gray, ash-covered kiln transformation known as \"sea slug skin\" on one side, while the interior delights the viewer with a more vivid scarlet hue.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, as a hidden feature, a remarkably vibrant scarlet appears on the bottom, serving as a private pleasure once the bowl has been used.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is crafted to be simpler and thinner than his previous works, remaining as durable as one would expect from Bizen ware, yet lighter and easier to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned without a foot like a tea bowl, it is versatile enough to be used for anything, showcasing the techniques of Koriki-sensei, who also pours his passion into the study of tea ceramics, without reservation.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.0cm x 11.5cm x Height 7.6cm\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 for seven years starting in 1989 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\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 Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618209943649,"sku":"7817","price":6050.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7817.jpg?v=1790233305","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7817","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
