{"product_id":"p6120","title":"Hidasuki teacup","description":"This is a newly fired *hi-dasuki* tea cup by Tomio Ochi, an artist who has spent his time working silently at the kiln under the tutelage of Anjin Abe, pouring his unfulfilled creative passion into his pottery.\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue to Ochi-sensei’s preference for high-temperature firing, this work possesses a profound sense of weight and is fired remarkably hard, radiating a strength as if the clay itself has been condensed into a high-density form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe \"surface *hi-dasuki*\" style, featuring more of the fire-cord pattern than the natural clay texture typical of the Abe school, evokes the spirit of old Bizen and transforms the inherently elegant *hi-dasuki* into a scene of deep gravitas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of form, the piece demonstrates an extraordinary level of effort, from the imposing *chadamari* (tea reservoir) reminiscent of a cylindrical tea bowl to the powerful, coil-built walls.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs this is a large tea cup with a generous capacity, it is a versatile piece that can also be used for beverages such as shochu.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter: 8.3cm x 8.3cm, Height: 8.5cm\n\nTomio Ochi was born in Ehime Prefecture in 1949 and graduated from Ehime Prefectural Niihama Technical High School.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStarting in 1969, he studied painting and sculpture at Taka Art while working at a company.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1976, he received instruction under Anjin Abe while serving as a kiln assistant in Ehime Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1998, he built his own kiln on the premises of Anjin Abe's studio in Ushimado, Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe incorporates his background in painting and sculpture into his pursuit of Bizen pottery.","brand":"越智富雄","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618709229665,"sku":"6120","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6120.jpg?v=1790240872","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6120","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
