{"product_id":"p6896","title":"Shino tea cup","description":"This is a freshly fired Shino tea cup by Tomio Ochi, who works diligently at his kiln under the guidance of Yasuhito Abe, pouring his unfulfilled aspirations into his ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe piece exudes a strong sense of commitment throughout, serving as an answer to the questions: What defines a Shino piece created by Tomio Ochi? And what is the significance of working with Shino?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat strikes the eye first is the pure white landscape, completely devoid of iron or red-oxide paintings. The thinly applied feldspar glaze will surely take on a dignified, antique character the more it is used.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe finish of the feldspar glaze itself is fired to a very hard, dense state, much like his Nezumi (mouse-gray) Shino, reflecting a creative approach that aims strictly for the aesthetic of ancient Shino.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn line with the concept of the piece, the unglazed clay areas are thoroughly fired, with the dense, light-orange clay forming a powerful foot.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm x 8.0cm x Height 8.2cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTomio Ochi was born in Ehime Prefecture in 1949 and graduated from Ehime Prefectural Niihama Technical High School.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStarting in 1969, he studied painting and sculpture at Taka Art while working at a company.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1976, he received instruction while serving as a kiln-firing assistant to Yasuhito Abe in Ehime Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1998, he built his own kiln on the grounds of Yasuhito Abe's studio in Ushimado, Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe draws upon his background in sculpture and painting in his approach to Bizen pottery.","brand":"越智富雄","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618068942945,"sku":"6896","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6896.jpg?v=1790231975","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6896","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
