{"product_id":"p2027","title":"Bizen ware sake bottle","description":"This is a Bizen sake bottle by Yozan Isezaki, who was born in Imbe, left behind numerous masterpieces of ceramic crafts and figures, and was designated a holder of a Prefectural Intangible Cultural Property. Even among the works of Yozan, whose pieces rarely appear on the market, this sake bottle is exceptionally rare. Despite the significant difference in their production periods, the piece features a bright yellow sesame glaze that strangely resembles the style of Mitsuru Isezaki, combined with a rich, colorful clay texture. It is a precious work that can be considered the origin of the Isezaki family, which represents Bizen ware.\n\nOriginal wooden box (with double-cross bracing)\u003cbr\u003e\nMouth diameter 3.3cm x Body diameter 8.7cm x Body diameter 8.5cm x Height 13.1cm; Capacity approx. 350cc\n\nYozan Isezaki was born in Imbe in 1902. Although he initially aspired to be a Japanese-style painter, family circumstances led him to master traditional spatula techniques at the Korakuen kiln. In his youth, he studied pottery techniques under Yusen Tajima, and in 1933, he built his own kiln and became independent. Skilled in fine crafts, he left behind masterpieces of ceramic figures and ornaments, creating large-scale works such as the statues of Shinsaku Takasugi in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and the statues of Wake no Hiromushi and Kiyomaro. In his later years, he also worked on the potter's wheel. He restored an old kiln in the Koya Mountains and was also recognized as a Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Property holder. He passed away in 1961 at the age of 60.","brand":"伊勢崎陽山","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618425983073,"sku":"2027","price":72000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/2027.jpg?v=1790236015","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p2027","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
