{"product_id":"p4120","title":"Bizen Beer Mug","description":"This is a new Bizen beer mug by the popular young artist Yoshiteru Kōriki, an apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. It is his latest work, fired in the spring of 2016, and the kiln firing was such a great success that it has produced stunning matte sesame glaze (kase-goma) patterns. Both the inside and outside exhibit a soft orange hue that becomes even more beautiful when wet, perfectly demonstrating the charm of Bizen sake ware, which is a joy both to use and to nurture. The clay surface, made from high-quality ta-tsuchi, features extremely fine ridges that create a finer foam, making your beer taste even better. Cooling the mug before use will enhance the beauty of the surface and provide a wonderful drinking experience.\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm x 8.0cm x Height 12.1cm\n\nYoshiteru Kōriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture.

After seven years of training, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, in 1996 and went independent, successfully firing his first kiln the following year.
