This is his \"Hibi 2022\" (Days 2022) katakuchi pouring vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\nIncorporating AI-generated imagery and transfer techniques, he pursues a unique form of expression by translating a modern sensibility into ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs the title \"Hibi 2022\" suggests, he uses transfer paper to scatter images from his iPhone camera roll across the entire surface of the vessel like a photo collage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing a custom blend of porcelain clay and mugusa (moxa) clay as a base, he refines the surface with slips and glazes, treating the vessel itself like a canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the influence of the clay particles and glazes affects the contours of the transfers, creating a unique, weathered texture as if the piece has been used for a very long time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body features an orthodox oval design with a semi-circular spout, resulting in a finish that is easy to use despite its strikingly bold appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBuilding upon the foundation of a traditional sake vessel, this work showcases a new form of ceramic expression unique to Yotaro Isezaki, layering modern elements such as AI, image transfer, and smartphone functionality.\n\nSigned wooden box (Shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 16.7cm × 11.8cm × Height 7.5cm, Capacity approx. 200cc\n\nYotaro Isezaki was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1995 as the eldest son of Shin Isezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from Kyoto Seika University in 2018, he studied under his father, Shin Isezaki, to hone his ceramic skills.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe completed the technical course at the Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center in 2024 and finished the Ceramics Lab program at the same institution in 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe currently creates works that incorporate a modern sensibility against the backdrop of the Bizen ware tradition.","brand":"伊勢崎陽太郎","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618231242849,"sku":"8026","price":38500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8026.jpg?v=1790233639","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p8026","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
