{"product_id":"p5572","title":"Kuroshuten","description":"This is a black sake cup by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who has made his long-awaited debut after studying pottery techniques under Ryuichi Kakizaki. This new piece was fired in the third firing of his own self-designed anagama kiln, built in Kamigori, Hyogo Prefecture. Mr. Oiwa aims for intense firing, which gives his black works a deep luster while drawing out beautiful yet striking sesame glaze (goma). The areas with a damp-looking, crusty sesame glaze have a faint bluish tint reflecting the black base, skillfully bringing out the various hues inherent in the black clay, much like the Isezaki school. This piece was thrown thickly and then boldly cut with a spatula, resulting in a sake cup with an imposing, rock-like presence.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please allow some time for shipping)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.0cm x 6.4cm x Height 6.8cm\n\nTomoyuki Oiwa was born in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture in 1977. He completed the Bizen Pottery Center program in 2004, studied under Ryuichi Kakizaki in 2005, and became independent in 2014.","brand":"大岩智之","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618684260449,"sku":"5572","price":14040.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5572.jpg?v=1790240355","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p5572","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
