{"product_id":"p7093","title":"Bizen rice bowl","description":"This new Bizen rice bowl is 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\nThis particular rice bowl uses a larger proportion of mountain clay, resulting in a coarse, matte texture that offers a different appeal from lowland clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe firing process also takes advantage of the characteristics of the mountain clay, lending the entire piece a unique luster; although it is a rice bowl, it almost invites you to use it for drinking matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall stones within the mountain clay have emerged from the surface during firing, adding an exquisite, weathered character to the unpretentious, Nanban-style unglazed surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThinner than his previous work, this bowl retains the durability characteristic of Bizen ware while remaining light and easy to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen rice bowls prevent rice from sticking, and because the vessel absorbs moisture, it makes the rice taste even better.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 12.3cm x 11.8cm x Height 7.0cm\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 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 fired his first kiln the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has held solo exhibitions every year since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Tea Ceremony Molding Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618080149601,"sku":"7093","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7093.jpg?v=1790232212","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p7093","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
