{"product_id":"p6410","title":"Bizen Hidasuki Small Sake Bottle","description":"This is a new Bizen hidasuki small sake bottle, freshly taken from the kiln by Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative work with a composed spirit, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, just removed from the kiln in September 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike those of Sozan Kaneshige, this piece was fired using a custom-made electric kiln that allows for combined wood firing, requiring as much, if not more, time and effort as a climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe moist, soft texture of the mugwort-colored clay surface makes it clear that he has firmly inherited the techniques of his mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, a large amount of black particles from the clay components have emerged on the surface; when held in the hand, they are abundant enough to reflect light, adding a profound presence reminiscent of Japanese paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough Koriki-sensei has shifted toward slightly thinner forms than his previous work, the size has also become slightly smaller, resulting in an elegant sake bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditionally, the hidasuki fire-cord decoration has changed to a minimalist style that tickles the wabi-sabi heart, with thin, streaky lines of red creating an indescribable expression.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.6cm x Body diameter 9.0cm x 9.0cm x Height 10.5cm, Capacity approx. 240cc\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 starting in 1989 under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and became independent, firing his first kiln the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held solo exhibitions every year since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, his work was selected for the Chanoyu Zokeiten (Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618051280993,"sku":"6410","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6410.jpg?v=1790231511","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6410","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
