{"product_id":"p8009","title":"Sake bottle","description":"This sake flask is the work of Kei Ushigaki, who trained under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki before establishing his own kiln in Kagoshima, a place with ties to his grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom his base in far-off Kagoshima, he was able to view the culture of Bizen ware from an outside perspective, and this piece is imbued with the charm he rediscovered through that experience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCreated using an anagama wood-firing kiln built in Kagoshima, the work is made from high-quality clay fired to a dense finish, with natural ash glaze resulting from the intense firing accumulating on the vessel's surface to form complex layers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe underlying clay base has a dry, beige texture that effectively highlights the lemon-yellow natural glaze that has fallen over the entire piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of form, the piece firmly inherits the style of the Isezaki school, featuring a stylish design where the clay at the base is left with an upturned, peeling effect.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please note that it will take some time before it can be shipped.)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 4.2cm × Body diameter 9.7cm × Body diameter 9.7cm × Height 13.0cm, Capacity approx. 400cc\n\nKei Ushigaki was born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from the Kyoto College of Traditional Crafts in 2013, he studied under Jun Isezaki to refine his pottery techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe established his independence in Kagoshima Prefecture in 2018.","brand":"牛垣 渓","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618226458721,"sku":"8009","price":24200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8009.jpg?v=1790233611","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p8009","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
