{"product_id":"p4146","title":"Platinum-glazed sake cup","description":"This is a new platinum-glazed sake cup by Toru Ichikawa, who made a striking debut after studying under Ryuichi Kakurezaki. While one is immediately drawn to its highly original, avant-garde design, holding it reveals the immense passion he pours into expressing the beauty of the clay itself. Creating these beautiful curves and edges requires a profound understanding of the clay's properties, coupled with a staggering amount of time and meticulous effort; it is a work born from tirelessly forging the clay, much like a master swordsmith. This piece features a rare glaze effect that stands out even among his platinum-glazed works, with the platinum shifting into a dark silver hue and the body textured with unique wrinkles, like weathered rock. The form itself emphasizes sharp edges, resulting in a powerful style that appears as if it were carved directly from stone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2016\/06\/ichikawa-new2016june.html\"\u003eView the blog post about Toru Ichikawa's new works\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned box to be provided later (please allow some time for delivery)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.4cm x Diameter 5.5cm x Height 6.4cm\n\nToru Ichikawa was born in Tokyo.
