{"product_id":"p3925","title":"Pour the shochu","description":"This is a new white sake pourer by Koichiro Isezaki, who was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and is breathing new life into the Bizen pottery world with his exceptional sense and masterful sculpting skills. It is a masterpiece imbued with the unique message that only earthenware can express—a hallmark of Koichiro-sensei, who creates diverse expressions by taking advantage of the clay's texture. He uses white clay from Ibe that he has fallen in love with, and the *hima* (fire marks) that emerged on the interior and the foot create an indescribably exquisite flavor with the pale, delicate champagne-gold color of the clay. Through a new production method of spreading and inflating spherical clay, he has achieved both an intriguing clay texture and a clean, sharp pouring experience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2015\/12\/koichiro-new-2015winter001.html\"\u003eSee the blog post about Koichiro Isezaki's sake cups\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (please allow some time for shipping)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 13.6cm × Diameter 10.0cm × Height 8.6cm\n\nKoichiro Isezaki was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The Isezaki family is a prestigious name in Bizen pottery; his grandfather was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Mitsuru Isezaki. He aspired to become a ceramic artist from an early age. After graduating from the sculpture department of Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He learned ceramic art for about two years under Jeff Shapiro, a ceramic artist living in New York City, which greatly broadened his perspective on art and pottery. After returning to Japan in 2000, he worked diligently on his training under the guidance of his father's disciples. In 2002, he submitted work to the Tanabe Museum of Art Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time and was selected.","brand":"伊勢崎晃一朗","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618557055073,"sku":"3925","price":36000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3925.jpg?v=1790238407","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p3925","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
