{"product_id":"p3444","title":"White-glazed sake cup","description":"This is a white-glazed sake cup by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who has made his long-awaited debut after learning the ceramic arts under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. The glaze is thick and has an exceptionally smooth texture, so soft it almost feels as if it were still in a liquid, milky state. The clay body has a rugged, rock-like quality that creates an enjoyable contrast with the softness of the glaze. The bottom of the interior has been carefully trimmed with a spatula, a testament to Mr. Oiwa’s uncompromising approach to his craft. The hidasuki (fire-cord) markings applied across the piece blend with the white glaze to create a milky, straw-ash-like cloudiness that adds to the aesthetic scenery of the work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2015\/02\/newface-oiwa.html\"\u003eView blog post about this sake cup\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 5.9cm x Diameter 5.0cm x Height 7.0cm\n\nTomoyuki Oiwa was born in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1977.
