Description

This is a Bizen tea cup by Koichiro Isezaki, the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and a highly anticipated, popular artist. It is a popular choice for gifts in our store and has been very well received. The vibrant finish, created by *goma* (ash glaze) and *hidasuki* (fire-cord) markings from an *anagama* wood-fired kiln, is beautiful. With its orthodox yet uniquely twisted design, it is a versatile piece that anyone would be delighted to receive.

Signed wooden box (double-slat lid)

About gift wrapping

Koichiro Isezaki was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The Isezaki family is a prestigious Bizen ware dynasty; his grandfather was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Mitsuru Isezaki. Koichiro aspired to be a potter from an early age. After graduating from the Sculpture Department of Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He spent approximately two years learning pottery under Jeff Shapiro, a potter based in New York City, which greatly broadened his perspectives on art and ceramics. After returning to Japan in 2000, he trained under the guidance of his father's apprentices. In 2002, he submitted his work to the Tanabe Museum of Art Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time and was selected.
