{"product_id":"p5927","title":"Hidasuki Mug","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen hidaski (fire-cord) mug by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis latest work, fired in June 2020, is a wonderful mug that offers an authentic hidaski experience at an affordable price.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFired in a custom-built electric kiln capable of wood firing, the piece is fired for a duration comparable to an anagama climbing kiln, resulting in a rich, supple texture and deep, vibrant hidaski markings that soak into the very heart of the clay—a true testament to the techniques inherited from his masters.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Koriki's recent pieces seem to feature a slightly thinner, sharper wheel-thrown form, the clean silhouette pairs beautifully with the swift, delicate application of the fire-cord markings.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThough the mug has a wide base and generous capacity, the aforementioned clean design makes it pleasantly lightweight.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.6cm x 9.2cm x Height 7.0cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Shipping fee is 500 yen.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from high school, he studied ceramics for seven years starting in 1989 under Sozan and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built an anagama kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to establish his independence, and fired his first kiln the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has continued to hold annual solo exhibitions ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Ceramics Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618692812897,"sku":"5927","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5927.jpg?v=1790240693","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p5927","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
