{"product_id":"p3056","title":"Bizen four-sun plate","description":"This is a new four-sun Bizen plate by Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with an exceptional aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his work with clay, firing techniques, and craftsmanship. Focusing on \"coordination\"—a key theme in Mr. Morimoto's recent work—these dishes were created to be enjoyed in combination with the sake vessels and other pieces he has released in the past. At just under 15 centimeters, this is a versatile size, perfect for use as a side plate at a dinner party, a sweets dish, or a variety of other purposes. The firing is a true embodiment of Morimoto's signature \"old Bizen\" style, featuring layers of fine sesame glaze (*goma*) that resemble *makie* lacquerwork, contrasted with the understated, weathered beauty of *hidasuki* (fire-cord) markings.\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 14.8cm × 14.8cm × Height 2.0cm\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.
