{"product_id":"p8042","title":"HAL Chamfered Guinomi","description":"This is a \"HAL\" faceted sake cup by Yotaro Isezaki, who was born into a prestigious Bizen ware family as the eldest son of Shin Isezaki, yet continues to create work with a new style unfettered by existing concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe pursues a unique form of expression by incorporating AI-generated images and transfer techniques, translating a contemporary sensibility into ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nInspired by Japanese animation—a part of his own background—he generates original characters using AI and scatters them across the surface of the vessel like a photo collage using transfer paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWorking with a base of original clay blended from porcelain and mogusa clay, he prepares the surface with slips and glazes, using the vessel itself like a canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay canvas further influences the contours of the transfers through the texture of the clay particles and the glaze, creating a uniquely faded look, as if the piece had been well-worn over a long period of time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body features delicate vertical facets created with a spatula; interestingly, when held in the hand, one can quietly sense the traditional forms of the Isezaki lineage that have continued since Mitsuru Isezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBuilt upon the foundation of a traditional sake vessel shape, this piece showcases a new mode of ceramic expression unique to Yotaro Isezaki, layering in modern elements such as AI, image transfer, and animation.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.0cm x 5.8cm x Height 6.3cm\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 apprenticed under his father, Shin Isezaki, to hone his pottery skills.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe completed the technical course at the Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center in 2024 and completed the Ceramics Lab program at the same institution in 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe currently creates works that incorporate a contemporary sensibility against the backdrop of the Bizen ware tradition.","brand":"伊勢崎陽太郎","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618234159201,"sku":"8042","price":18700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8042.jpg?v=1790233667","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p8042","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
