Hidasuki Small Bowl

This is a new Bizen hidasuki (fire-cord) small bowl, fresh from the kiln by popular young artist Yoshiteru Koriki, a former apprentice to the late master Sozan Kaneshige. This latest work from the early summer 2019 kiln opening features a beautifully elegant hidasuki pattern reminiscent of the masterpieces of his teacher, Sozan Kaneshige. It was fired in a custom electric kiln capable of wood firing, using a process that takes as long as a climbing kiln, resulting in a rich, supple texture and a deep, penetrating color of the hidasuki that clearly reflects the techniques passed down from his master. The interior displays a circular hidasuki pattern, while the exterior features a lively, intricate web of intersecting lines. The unique shape, resembling a flat tea bowl for summer use, makes it easy to serve dishes with sauces, making it a perfect addition for the coming summer season. No box included
Diameter 12.4cm x 12.3cm x Height 5.1cm

*Shipping fee is 500 yen. Yoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Influenced by his father, who loved pottery, he pursued a career in ceramics. After graduating from high school in 1989, he apprenticed under the master Sozan Kaneshige and his son Yuho Kaneshige to learn the craft. After seven years of training, he built a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City in 1996 to establish his own studio, and successfully completed his first kiln firing the following year. He held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held annual solo exhibitions ever since. In 1999, his work was selected for the "Exhibition of Confectionery Bowls I'd Like to Use," and in 2002, he was selected for the "Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition" for the first time.
