Against a base of lustrous, scarlet-red reminiscent of ripe apple skin, the distinct amber-toned kiln alterations and wrapped \"hidasuki\" (fire-cord) markings overlap, creating a deeply mysterious and layered color profile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--nl----\u003e\nWhile it lacks extreme ornamentation, the cup possesses a highly sophisticated atmosphere, a testament to Koichiro-sensei’s impeccable taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--nl----\u003e\nSimple and versatile, it comes in a paulownia wood box, making it an ideal gift.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.3cm x 7.1cm x Height 10.4cm\n\nKoichiro Isezaki was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1974 as the eldest son of Jun Isezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAfter graduating from the sculpture department at Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSubsequently, in 1998, he apprenticed under Jeff Shapiro, a potter living in New York City and a former student of his father.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAfter studying ceramics for approximately two years, he returned to Japan, and in 2000, he became an independent ceramic artist under his father, Jun Isezaki.","brand":"伊勢崎晃一朗","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618709983329,"sku":"6158","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6158.jpg?v=1790240908","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6158","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
