{"product_id":"p7923","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"This Bizen rice bowl is the work of Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative path without pretense while having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular rice bowl uses a higher proportion of mountain clay, giving it a coarse, matte texture that offers an interesting contrast to the qualities of field clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe firing process also takes advantage of the characteristics of the mountain clay, imbuing the entire piece with a unique luster; although it is a rice bowl, it inspires the desire to use it for serving matcha as well.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall stones contained within the mountain clay have emerged from the surface during the kiln firing, adding an exquisite, weathered refinement to the unadorned Nanban-style surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is crafted to be thinner than his previous work, remaining as durable as one would expect from Bizen ware while being light and easy to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen ware rice bowls prevent rice from sticking, and the vessel absorbs excess moisture, making the rice taste even better.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.2cm × 12.3cm × Height 6.8cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*A shipping fee of 500 yen will be automatically added at checkout.\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 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 continued to hold annual solo exhibitions since then.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, his work was selected for the Chanoyu Zokei-ten (Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618214039649,"sku":"7923","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7923.jpg?v=1790233474","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7923","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
