{"product_id":"p6655","title":"Bizen yohen sake bottle","description":"This is a new Bizen sake flask, fresh from the kiln, by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, just removed from the kiln in May 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue to Mr. Koriki’s style of bringing out the character of the clay through bold, risk-taking firing techniques, this piece represents a superb outcome that leans heavily toward the \"firing\" aspect of the interplay between \"firing\" and \"clay.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a \"so-haikaburi\" (fully ash-covered) sake flask, with nearly every part of the piece blanketed in ash. The thoroughly fired ash-covered kiln transformation exudes a subtle glow, and the black and silver landscape, reminiscent of metal, is something one could gaze at forever.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe three small circular markings on the front, where it sat in the kiln, feature a combination of gold and scarlet hues, creating a romantic landscape akin to the Summer Triangle shining in the Milky Way.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form itself is a simple, smart \"katatsuki\" (shouldered) shape that is light and easy to hold, making it perfect even for those new to Bizen sake flasks.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.5cm x Body diameter 9.0cm x 9.0cm x Height 12.5cm, Capacity approx. 370cc\n\nYoshiteru Koriki was born in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from high school, he spent seven years from 1989 studying ceramics under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1996, he built his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and struck out on his own, firing 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, his work was selected for the Tea Ceremony Ceramic Art Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618058915937,"sku":"6655","price":38500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6655.jpg?v=1790231713","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6655","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
