{"product_id":"p2603","title":"Bizen Yohen Sake Cup","description":"This is the latest Bizen kiln-transmutation sake cup by Yoshiteru Koriki, a popular young artist who was an apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. It is a tour de force featuring a striking contrast between jet-black ash-covered surfaces and vibrant orange highlights. The dull, gleaming black body reflects the intensity of the firing, and it will develop an even richer luster as you stroke it while drinking, captivating its owner. Despite the intense firing, the texture of the surface is extremely pleasant, and the piece has been meticulously polished with great care to make it very comfortable to use.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.0cm × Diameter 6.9cm × Height 5.4cm\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture.

After graduating from high school, he studied pottery techniques under the master Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho Kaneshige starting in 1989. After seven years of training, he established his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, in 1996 and successfully produced his first firing the following year. He held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held annual solo exhibitions ever since.
