{"product_id":"p1921","title":"Bizen tea cup","description":"This Bizen teacup is the work of Koichiro Isezaki, a highly anticipated and popular artist who is the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The classic form of this teacup has been updated, resulting in a larger and more charming silhouette. The clay surface, fired in an anagama kiln, is graced with a vibrant scarlet hue and dynamic goma (ash glazing), creating a magnificent landscape. With a generous capacity of approximately 400ml, this piece is versatile enough for tea, shochu, or beer.\n\nKoichiro Isezaki was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The Isezaki family is a prestigious name in Bizen ware; his grandfather was the intangible cultural property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was the intangible cultural property holder Mitsuru Isezaki, leading Koichiro to pursue pottery from an early age. After graduating from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He spent approximately two years studying pottery under New York-based ceramic artist Jeff Shapiro, which greatly broadened his perspective on art and ceramics. Upon returning to Japan in 2000, he continued his training under the guidance of his father's disciples. In 2002, his work was exhibited and selected for the first time at the Tanabe Art Museum’s Tea Ceremony Exhibition.","brand":"伊勢崎晃一朗","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618411466849,"sku":"1921","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/1921.jpg?v=1790235860","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p1921","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
