{"product_id":"p3003","title":"Bizen sake cup","description":"This is a Bizen sake cup by Yoshiteru Koriki, a popular young artist who was an apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. It is a piece with a very \"sweet\" (well-matured) firing, featuring a vivid red clay surface thinly coated with ash that forms a gray, matte sesame glaze (kase-goma). The exceptionally vibrant orange hue of the clay is unique to Koriki, and it will deepen into an even richer orange when used. The piece possesses a rhythm inherited from Sozan Kaneshige, with a relaxed body contrasted by the swift carving of the foot.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.7cm × Diameter 6.6cm × Height 6.1cm\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Influenced by his pottery-loving father, he aspired to become a ceramic artist, and after graduating from high school, he apprenticed under the father-son duo Sozan and Yuho Kaneshige starting in 1989 to learn the craft. After seven years of training, he built an ascending kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, in 1996 to establish his own studio, successfully firing his first kiln the following year. He held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held annual solo exhibitions since. In 1999, he was selected for the \"Exhibition of Confectionery Containers I Want to Use,\" and in 2002, he was selected for the \"Exhibition of Tea Ceremony Forms\" for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618520354913,"sku":"3003","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3003.jpg?v=1790237168","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p3003","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
