{"product_id":"p6739","title":"Bizen rectangular plate","description":"This is a Bizen rectangular dish by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was fired and removed from the kiln in May 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCrafted from high-quality paddy field clay characteristic of Koriki's work, the dish features a chocolate-colored surface with a subtle sheen, layered with elegant yellow sesame glaze (goma) likely achieved using red pine wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe center of the interior features two \"nuke\" spots lined with fire clay—a clever technique used to maximize kiln space—where the combination of sesame glaze and hidasuki (fire-cord markings) creates a sense of sophisticated beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the surface has been embellished with fine impressions from a wooden stick or stone, resulting in a fascinating texture that appears as both stone-like and wood grain-like.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe size is also a highlight, versatile enough for everything from appetizers to single-course dishes, with the rustic tones typical of Bizen ware elegantly complementing any food served on it.\n\nNo box\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 36.0cm x 13.0cm x Height 1.3cm\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 his own climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, to become an independent artist, 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 exhibitions ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, his work was selected for the Chanoyu Zokei-ten (Exhibition of Tea Ceremony Ceramics) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618061602913,"sku":"6739","price":7700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6739.jpg?v=1790231794","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6739","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
