{"product_id":"p7160","title":"Stout beer glass","description":"These are brand-new black beer tumblers, just taken from the kiln by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who studied pottery techniques under Ryuichi Kakurezaki and is now dedicated to his research in Kamigori, Hyogo Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese are his latest works, fired in November 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMr. Oiwa aims for intense firing, and the high heat transforms the black slip into a magnificent color, resulting in a clear, lustrous black finish similar to that of his mentor, Mr. Kakurezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, this piece goes beyond that, exhibiting a vivid, eye-catching light blue kiln transformation; the extremely clear coloration creates a landscape that is mysteriously reminiscent of *hikidashi-guro* (pulled-out black ware).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhite-gray *sangiri* (ash-covered firing marks) appears on the lower side, creating a striking contrast as if that section were exposed concrete.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs for the form, the artist has thoroughly pursued the beauty of the piece as a three-dimensional object; the pestle-like design with a pinched waist creates an exquisite sense of balance, and the wide-trimmed foot is reminiscent of his mentor, Ryuichi Kakurezaki.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided later (please note that it will take some time before shipment.)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.0cm × 8.0cm × Height 12.3cm\n\nTomoyuki Oiwa was born in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1977.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe completed his studies at the Bizen Pottery Center in 2004 and began his apprenticeship under Ryuichi Kakurezaki in 2005.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe established his own studio in Hyogo Prefecture in 2014.","brand":"大岩智之","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618089750625,"sku":"7160","price":14300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7160.jpg?v=1790232291","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p7160","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
