{"product_id":"p5425","title":"Bizen Hidasuki Tea Bowl","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired Hidasuki tea bowl by Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with an exceptional aesthetic sense who is in a constant state of evolution regarding his clay, firing techniques, and craftsmanship. The reduction-fired Hidasuki, which Morimoto himself refers to as \"nukimono\" (extracted ware), truly lives up to its name, with colors evoked as if drawing a rich, vibrant scarlet sash out from within the clay. On a chocolate-hued surface that looks as if it might melt, an intense crimson sash blooms, appearing as though the heat of the fire still resides within the piece. Reminiscent of the famous old Bizen tea bowl \"Tadaima,\" the piece is thoroughly calculated in every detail, yet this is skillfully concealed by the rustic charm inherent to Bizen ware, resulting in a sophisticated form devoid of pretension. The treatment around the foot is particularly exquisite, showcasing a compelling work that only someone as dedicated to research as Morimoto could achieve. Morimoto states that reduction-fired Hidasuki is incredibly profound, and that the more the bowl is used, the more the texture of the clay will mature and develop character.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.6cm x 12.4cm x Height 8.8cm\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.
