{"product_id":"p6766","title":"Bizen sake bottle","description":"This Bizen sake bottle is by Yoshiteru Koriki, an artist who pursues his own creative style without pretension, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is his latest work, freshly taken from the kiln in May 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong Koriki's diverse works known for their varied landscapes and earthy textures, this piece is a popular style that combines a persimmon-orange clay tone with a refined, matte ash glaze.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe soft, low-fired texture absorbs sake readily upon use, rewarding the owner by shifting into a hue reminiscent of fresh, ripe fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe front features an exceptionally deep and vivid scarlet flame mark, promising a superior experience as it develops with use, while black spots—caused by iron in the clay erupting to the surface—add a weathered, rustic charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe design, which eschews unnecessary ornamentation for a slightly compact and elegant form, pairs beautifully with the soft scarlet hues to offer a wonderful tactile experience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.5cm x Body diameter 9.7cm x 9.7cm x Height 11.1cm.
