{"product_id":"p5865","title":"Black bowl","description":"This black donburi bowl is the work of Masao Akiya, an artist who studied under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and creates works brimming with his own unique originality while embracing a fresh spirit. It is crafted using the Kuro-Bizen (black Bizen) technique inherited from his mentor, Jun Isezaki, resulting in a black color that is deep and lustrous yet warm. It uses black clay from Osafune Isogami, famous for sword making; by dissolving this clay into the surface, a beautiful black texture is created. Another feature is the vivid blue color appearing on the rim, caused by the cobalt present in the black clay. On the exterior, only the rim is black, allowing for the clear enjoyment of the hidasuki (fire-cord) markings that appear where the vessel overlaps with others placed underneath. With a size of approximately 15 cm, this bowl is perfect for anything from side dishes to rice bowls, and its chic black color brings a wonderful harmony to any dining table.\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 15.8 cm x Diameter 15.8 cm x Height 7.3 cm\n\nMasao Akiya was born in Saitama in 1968.
