{"product_id":"p3562","title":"Bizen sake bottle","description":"This is a new Bizen sake flask by Yoshiteru Koriki, a popular young artist who was an apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. It features the vibrant orange color characteristic of Koriki's signature work, reminiscent of a persimmon. The \"kase-goma\" (dry sesame glaze) and the overall texture of the clay surface are as soft and airy as papier-mâché, making it hard to believe it was fired in a kiln. Beyond using it for warm sake, it is also interesting to fill it with cold sake, stopper it, and chill it in the refrigerator for a while before serving. Over time, and with exposure to droplets of sake during use, the surface will take on a moist, refined appearance, much like a freshly peeled, damp persimmon.\n\nOriginal signed wooden box included (please note that there will be a delay before shipping) \u003cbr\u003e\nRim diameter 3.4cm × Body diameter 9.5cm × Body diameter 9.4cm × Height 13.5cm; Capacity 450cc\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Influenced by his pottery-loving father, he aspired to a career in ceramics. After graduating from high school in 1989, he apprenticed under the master Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho, where he honed his skills. Following seven years of training, he struck out on his own in 1996, building a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and successfully completing his first firing the following year. He held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held annual solo exhibitions ever since. In 1999, he was selected for the \"Exhibition of Confectionery Vessels You 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":46618540703841,"sku":"3562","price":28000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3562.jpg?v=1790237929","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p3562","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
