{"product_id":"p8033","title":"Hiyama Bizen Tea Bowl","description":"This is a Hiyama-Bizen tea bowl by Hiroshi Goseki, who trained under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki before opening his own kiln in Ibaraki Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis tea bowl was crafted using a blend of Bizen clay and clay from Hiyama, and fired in an anagama kiln built in Hiyama, Hitachiomiya City.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPerhaps due to the influence of the Hiyama clay, the piece has a rustic texture when held, and its clay quality—characterized by a strong caramel-brown hue—possesses a unique charm distinct from traditional Bizen ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe exterior features a \"sangiri\" finish with a unique luster and texture reminiscent of wet stone, while the interior draws the eye with a dry, matte \"tobigoma\" (splashed sesame) glaze.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor this piece, the artist used slab construction to form the base before finishing it with intricate hand-pinched adjustments, resulting in a superb form that evokes the serenity and subtle irregularities of a Raku tea bowl.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRegarding the foot, true to Goseki-sensei's dedication to the study of tea ceremony and tea ceramics, a calm maturity is beginning to emerge within his energetic and sophisticated design.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (we apologize, but please allow some time for shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.2cm × 11.9cm × Height 9.4cm\n\nHiroshi Goseki was born in Chiba Prefecture in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from Tohoku University of Art and Design in 2013, he apprenticed under Bizen ware Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe became independent in 2017 and built his kiln in Hiyama, Hitachiomiya City, Ibaraki Prefecture, in 2019.","brand":"後関裕士","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618232815713,"sku":"8033","price":88000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8033.jpg?v=1790233651","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p8033","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
