{"product_id":"p8031","title":"HAL Chamfered Guinomi (Sake Cup)","description":"This is a HAL faceted sake cup by Yotaro Isezaki, who was born into a distinguished Bizen ware family as the eldest son of Shin Isezaki, yet continues to create work with a style unconstrained by existing concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe pursues a unique form of expression by incorporating AI-generated imagery and transfer techniques, translating a contemporary sensibility into ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe uses AI to generate original characters inspired by one of his own backbones, Japanese animation, and uses transfer paper to scatter them across the surface of the vessel like a photo collage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBased on an original clay blend of porcelain and \"mogusa\" earth, the surface is finished with slip and glaze, treating the vessel itself like a canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, this clay canvas influences the contours of the transfers through the effect of the clay particles and glaze, creating a unique, weathered texture as if it had been well-used over a long period of time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body of the piece features fine vertical facets carved with a spatula; it is interesting to note that when held, one can quietly sense the traditional form of the Isezaki lineage that continues from Mitsuru Isezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBy layering contemporary elements such as AI, transfers, and animation upon the foundation of a traditional sake cup form, this piece embodies the unique new ceramic expression of Yotaro Isezaki.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.9cm x 6.3cm x Height 5.2cm\n\nYotaro Isezaki was born in Bizen, Okayama Prefecture in 1995 as the eldest son of Shin Isezaki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter graduating from Kyoto Seika University in 2018, he studied under his father, Shin Isezaki, to hone his pottery skills.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe completed the technical course at the Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center in 2024 and completed the Ceramics Lab program at the same institution in 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe currently creates works that incorporate a contemporary sensibility against the backdrop of Bizen ware tradition.","brand":"伊勢崎陽太郎","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618232488033,"sku":"8031","price":18700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8031.jpg?v=1790233648","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p8031","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
