{"product_id":"p6519","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"This is a Bizen rice bowl by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under masters Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was removed from the kiln in September 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMade with the high-quality rice field clay characteristic of Koriki’s work, the chocolate-colored surface possesses a subtle luster that almost makes one feel as if it might melt to the touch.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe interior features a \"nuke\" (void) with a *hidasuki* (fire-cord) pattern across the center; while this is a technique used to make the most of the space within the kiln, the combination of *goma* (ash glaze) and *hidasuki* creates a sophisticated beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis rice bowl is quite large with a deep bowl, and its dignified form is such that it could almost be used as a tea bowl if the base were different.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOn the front, the yellow *goma* carried by the hot air has bonded firmly, creating a profound, quintessential Bizen aesthetic in combination with the rich *shiso* (perilla) coloring.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 13.3cm x 13.2cm x Height 6.7cm\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 and Yuho Kaneshige starting 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 continued to hold annual solo exhibitions ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he 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":46618718634081,"sku":"6519","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6519.jpg?v=1790241195","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6519","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
