{"product_id":"p7536","title":"Bizen-yaki Hidasuki Tea Cup","description":"This Bizen Hidasuki tea cup is by Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative path without pretense, despite having studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis tea cup features a deep, tasteful Hidasuki pattern created in a climbing kiln, where it was sealed inside a sagger to prevent natural ash glaze from adhering during the slow firing process.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn contrast to the traditional combination of Mogusa clay and Hidasuki fired in an electric kiln, this piece showcases a subtle, bluish-gray clay surface with minuscule particles of natural ash glaze, resulting in a rustic and refined aesthetic that stands in contrast to the elegant and vibrant look of standard Mogusa Hidasuki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue to Koriki-sensei’s dedication to quality clay preparation, the cup possesses a remarkably smooth texture that belies its wild appearance, offering a tactile quality that rivals pieces fired in electric kilns.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe orthodox form, typical of Koriki-sensei, is highly practical, making it a versatile vessel for tea or shochu.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNo box included (*a paulownia wood box can be crafted upon request)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.5cm x 8.5cm x Height 8.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\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 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 Chanoyu Zokeiten (Tea Ceremony Modeling Exhibition) for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618191855713,"sku":"7536","price":6600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7536.jpg?v=1790232867","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p7536","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
