{"product_id":"p7841","title":"Bizen bowl","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen bowl by Yoshiteru Koriki, who pursues his own creative vision without pretense, despite having studied under the masters Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a brand new piece, just taken from the kiln in September 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis bowl was crafted using a larger proportion of mountain clay, giving it a matte texture rich with small stones that offers a unique character distinct from rice-field clay.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of the firing, it makes the most of the durability characteristic of mountain clay. The exterior features a gray \"sea cucumber\" ash-covered kiln transformation (namako-hada) on one side, while the base and interior hide traces of scarlet, offering different pleasures to the viewer from every angle.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, the base clay tone exhibits a rich, deep shiso-red color derived from high-quality ceramic clay, revealing different expressions both while in use and after being cleaned.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is thinner and simpler in design than his previous work, remaining as durable as one expects from Bizen ware while being light and easy to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned without a foot like a tea bowl so that it can be used for any purpose, this piece showcases the tireless skills of Koriki-sensei, who also pours his passion into the study of tea ceramics.\n\nNo box included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 11.7cm x 11.2cm x Height 7.2cm\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 a climbing kiln in Shizutani, Bizen City, and went independent, firing his first kiln the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2000 and has continued to hold annual solo exhibitions ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2002, he was selected for the Chanoyu Molding Exhibition for the first time.","brand":"高力芳照","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618211319905,"sku":"7841","price":6050.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7841.jpg?v=1790233345","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p7841","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
