{"product_id":"p6353","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"This Bizen rice bowl is by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nCrafted using the high-quality rice-field clay characteristic of Koriki, the chocolate-colored surface possesses such a subtle luster that, to the touch, it almost gives the illusion of being ready to melt away.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe interior features a spot of \"hidasuki\" (fire-cord) decoration in the center created by masking the clay, a clever technique that utilizes space within the kiln, while the combination of \"goma\" (ash glaze) and hidasuki creates a refined beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the fine, file-like texture of the interior goma creates an ideal surface for a rice bowl, preventing rice from sticking and allowing moisture to be absorbed into the clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMade thinner than his previous work, this piece retains the durability typical of Bizen ware while remaining lightweight and easy to use.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.9cm x 11.7cm x Height 6.4cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please note that a shipping fee of 500 yen applies.\n\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 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige, beginning in 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, 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 held annual solo exhibitions ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, his work was selected for the Tea Ceremony Molding Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618715979873,"sku":"6353","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6353.jpg?v=1790241069","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6353","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
