{"product_id":"p5787","title":"Bizen tripod dish","description":"This Bizen tripod dish is by Takashi Soga, an artist who challenges the beauty of antiquity by recreating the environment in which Old Bizen pottery was fired. To replicate the style of the Old Bizen period, he avoids the use of modern refractory bricks; consequently, the kiln is fired in a way that defies modern common sense regarding thermal efficiency. As a result, it exhibits an exquisite earthen texture that transcends modern aesthetics and approaches that of Old Bizen. The hue of the *hidasuki* (fire-cord) markings, which seem to assimilate into the surface of the clay, is remarkably understated, perfectly capturing the characteristics of Old Bizen *hidasuki*. Areas where the earthen texture appears worn away—with iron deposits erupting and small stones peeking through—create an outstanding atmosphere reminiscent of Old Bizen. The form, which follows the traditions of Old Bizen, is highly elegant, and the height provided by the three legs offers a wonderful, three-dimensional effect when plating food.\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 19.3cm x 18.1cm x Height 2.8cm\n\nTakashi Soga was born in Tokyo in 1984. He studied under Jun Isezaki in 2009 and built his own kiln in Kukuigai, Bizen City, in 2012. He became independent and began his pottery career in 2013.","brand":"曽我 尭","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618689896545,"sku":"5787","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5787.jpg?v=1790240556","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p5787","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
