{"product_id":"p4106","title":"Bizen yohen sake cup","description":"This is a new Bizen yohen sake cup by the popular young artist Yoshiteru Koriki, an apprentice of the master Sozan Kaneshige. This latest piece, removed from the kiln in the spring of 2016, is an excellent work featuring a balanced combination of kiln-change firing and \"nuke\" (natural clay exposure). While the entire piece is continuously covered in ash glaze kiln-change effects, the \"nuke\" on the front and the clay texture inside the cup retain a fresh quality; in particular, the interior displays a magnificent gradation from a rich, dense shiso-purple to a bright brownish-red. The charming cylindrical form is well-suited for not only sake but also Western spirits.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.2cm x Diameter 6.1cm x Height 6.7cm\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Influenced by his father, who loved pottery, he set his heart on a career in ceramic art. After graduating from high school in 1989, he studied ceramic techniques under the master Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho. After seven years of training, he built an anagama kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and struck out on his own in 1996, successfully completing his first firing the following year. He held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000, and has held solo exhibitions every year since. In 1999, his work was selected for the \"Kita no Kashiki\" (Northern Confectionery Container) Exhibition, and in 2002, he was selected for the \"Chanoyu no Zokei\" (Sculptural Forms of the Tea Ceremony) Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618565181537,"sku":"4106","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/4106.jpg?v=1790238647","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p4106","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
