Hidasuki bowl

This is a new Hidasuki (fire-cord) bowl by the popular young artist Yoshiteru Koriki, an apprentice of the master Sozan Kaneshige. The piece was fired by slowly and patiently raising the temperature to nurture the clay, resulting in a magnificent, elegant mugusa (moxa-colored) texture. While the color development of the Hidasuki is truly wonderful, the artist's aesthetic sensibility is evident not only in the vivid hues but also in the way the straw is wrapped. This small, user-friendly bowl is perfect for serving any type of dish. After being thinly thrown on the potter's wheel, it was fired to a high degree of hardness, producing a clear, metallic ring when struck. Paper box

Influenced by his father’s love for pottery, he pursued a career in ceramics and, after graduating from high school, began his apprenticeship in 1989 under the masters Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho Kaneshige. 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 continued to hold them annually since. In 1999, he was selected for the "Confectionery Vessels I Want to Use" exhibition, and in 2002, he was selected for the "Tea Ceremony Modeling" exhibition for the first time.
