{"product_id":"p6049","title":"Hidasuki sake cup","description":"This *hidaski* (fire-cord) sake cup is the work of Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with a superb aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his handling of clay, firing, and craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a piece of reduced *hidaski*, which Morimoto himself refers to as \"nukimono\" (extracted work); true to the name, the rich *hidaski* markings appear as if they have been drawn out from deep within the clay itself.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAgainst a soft, matte ocher clay body that feels like unfired earth, a dense vermilion cord pattern blooms as if an inextinguishable fire dwells within.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDespite the absence of elaborate carving or flashy designs, the piece possesses an intricate interplay of movement. It allows one to fully enjoy Morimoto’s exceptional formative ability, cultivated through a combination of extensive research into ancient ceramics—ranging from Bizen to Joseon—and a tireless commitment to the creative process.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe foot, carved in a manner reminiscent of an antique Bizen tea bowl, provides a superb form that delights the eye both while drinking and after the cup is set down.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided at a later date (please note that shipping will take approximately one month).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.2cm x 7.0cm x Height 5.3cm\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter completing the Bizen Ceramic Center program in 1996 and working independently, he established his own studio.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2004, and has since held annual exhibitions across the country, primarily in Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was selected for the Tanabe Museum of Art’s \"Tea Ceremony Form Exhibition\" in 2005, 2006, and 2007.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe participated in the \"Contemporary Artists Sake Ware Exhibition\" in 2008 and the \"Contemporary Artists Tea Bowl Exhibition\" in 2009 at the Nihombashi Mitsukoshi in Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2010, he held a solo exhibition at the Okayama Tenmaya department store.","brand":"森本良信","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618026344545,"sku":"6049","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6049.jpg?v=1790231244","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6049","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
