{"product_id":"clad-in-light-faceted-matcha-bowl","title":"Clad in Light Faceted Matcha Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eClad in Light Faceted Matcha Bowl by Seto ware artist Taruta Hiroshi is a piece defined by quiet refinement. Delicately formed and glazed in pale celadon, the bowl carries a light, graceful presence. Taruta employs the linear \u003cem\u003ehotarude \u003c\/em\u003etechnique, carving thin diagonal slits across the surface. Building on this technique, he further refines the exterior by adding faceted cuts around the carved grooves. A sense of rhythm and dimensional depth enrich the form with a composed, sculptural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique known as hotarude—literally “firefly technique”—traditionally involves carving delicate openings in porcelain and coating them with a translucent glaze. The effect allows light to pass through the vessel while maintaining a seamless surface, creating points of illumination reminiscent of fireflies glimmering in a silk-dark night. Though hotarude cut-outs are typically circular, Taruta specializes in linear carvings, bringing his own unique artistic vision to the form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the intricacy of the carved work, the glaze plays an essential role in shaping the bowl's luminous character. Taruta began working with the glaze during his apprenticeship and has since gradually developed its formulation over many years. Through careful adjustments to both glaze composition and firing conditions, he achieved a balance of color and translucency that allows the surface to glow softly while preserving the clarity of the carved lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubtle ridges and recesses created by the cutouts add a distinctive tactile quality, while the finely applied glaze lends the bowl a velvety feel. As it is turned, shifting light reveals layers of silken sheen, inviting the eye to linger on the dialogue among form, texture, and light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hiroshi Taruta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46396641312957,"sku":"TART0003","price":1011.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/20140709___TND.521.jpg?v=1773368905","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/es\/products\/clad-in-light-faceted-matcha-bowl","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
