{"product_id":"p5717","title":"Ibe-choko","description":"This is an Ibe-choko (sake cup) by Kosuke Yashiro, an artist who spent his formative years dreaming of working with Bizen ware in Ibe, finally realizing his goal by building his own kiln there and making his debut. It is a quintessential Bizen piece that reflects the spirit of Yashiro-sensei, who fell in love with the works of the many potters who were born, raised, and laid to rest in the land of Ibe, and dedicated his life to Bizen ware. The overall color is very understated and refined, possessing the elegant \"scenery\" (keshiki) that is truly characteristic of Bizen ware. The bluish-grey *kase-goma* (dry sesame glaze) pairs beautifully with the faintly reddish clay, reminiscent of the \"mountain clay\" period works of Yuho Kaneshige. While perfect as a tea cup, it is versatile enough to be used for shochu or as a small bowl for serving food. (*Note: As the clay is slightly porous, liquid may seep through if left with water or other liquids for an extended period.)\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 9.0cm × 8.8cm × Height 6.4cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Shipping fee is 500 yen.\n\nKosuke Yashiro was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido in 1979.
