{"product_id":"p7862","title":"Shigaraki Sake Cup","description":"This Shigaraki sake cup (guinomi) is by Mashiro Aiga, an artist who creates unyielding, deeply principled work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong the many Bizen ceramic artists, Aiga stands out for his singular focus on the firing process, allowing you to enjoy the clay colors and effects that can only be achieved through rigorous, prolonged firing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRarely does a piece so perfectly embody the phrase \"profitability ignored\" at a glance; it is a magnificent work fired to perfection until it met his exacting standards.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe natural ash glaze flowing down from the front and back is, in a word, masterful. Its coloration is equally beautiful, with a refreshing, translucent green that complements the Shigaraki clay body perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe texture of the clay itself boasts a superb finish; the rich, orange-hued clay possesses a wet-like luster that, combined with the aforementioned clear green glaze, evokes a scene reminiscent of pure, icy spring water.\n\nOriginal signed wooden box to be provided at a later date (please note that some time will be required before shipment).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.6cm x 6.5cm x Height 5.6cm\n\nMashiro Aiga was born in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe graduated from the Bizen Ceramic Center in Okayama Prefecture in 1997.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2003, he built a fully subterranean anagama (tunnel kiln) in Sabukaze.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe following year, he built a second semi-subterranean anagama and has continued to dedicate himself to his craft.","brand":"相賀真志郎","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618212008033,"sku":"7862","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7862.jpg?v=1790233379","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p7862","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
