{"product_id":"p1955","title":"Ibe Shuten","description":"This Bizen sake cup is the work of Tomio Ochi, who diligently dedicated himself to firing kilns under the guidance of Anjin Abe, pouring his still-unsated aspirations into his pottery. The piece is coated in iron-rich clay and fired at a higher temperature than usual, resulting in a rich, viscous black hue. Layers of dark brownish-black are mingled with well-melted yellow sesame glaze, creating a profound landscape. The surface, formed by these overlapping colors, takes on an even more beautiful expression when wet, providing delight to its owner.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (please allow some time for shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.6cm × Diameter 6.8cm × Height 5.8cm\n\nTomio Ochi graduated from Ehime Prefectural Niihama Technical High School in 1949. In 1952, he moved to Tokyo to study oil painting and sculpture. Thereafter, he pursued painting and sculpture while working a corporate job. In 1997, he visited Anjin Abe in Ushimado, Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture, to receive his tutelage. He built his own kiln in Ushimado in 1998, and has since been crafting Bizen ware while drawing on his experience in sculpture and painting.","brand":"越智富雄","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618417168481,"sku":"1955","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/1955.jpg?v=1790235914","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p1955","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
