{"product_id":"iga-sometsuke-kobachi-small-bowl","title":"Iga Sometsuke Kobachi Small Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cem\u003ekobachi \u003c\/em\u003esmall bowl features a flower-shaped rim that opens into broad lobes before the body gradually gathers toward the foot. This movement from openness to containment gives the bowl a distinct profile, one that changes noticeably when viewed from above and from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweeping bands of \u003cem\u003egosu\u003c\/em\u003e blue follow the vessel's contours, spreading across the interior in alternating passages of deep blue, green, and pale stoneware. Toward the center, the colors gather into a dense field of \u003cem\u003ekannyu \u003c\/em\u003ecrackles, while traces of feldspar emerge throughout the surrounding stoneware. Here, the gosu blue of \u003cem\u003esometsuke \u003c\/em\u003ebehaves differently, interacting with the coarse texture of the clay rather than the smooth surface of porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the eighth-generation head of Mukai Kiln, Fukushima Kazuhiro continues to explore new expressions within inherited traditions. Guided by experiences spanning an apprenticeship under Koie Ryoji, years spent working with \u003cem\u003eanagama\u003c\/em\u003e “cave kilns” in California, and a return to his native Iga, the kiln's work moves fluidly between tradition and experimentation. In a wood-fired anagama, ash and flame interact directly with the clay; each vessel responds differently depending on its position and exposure during firing. Fired alongside the other pieces in this collection, each bowl shows its own balance of color, texture, and form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mukaigama","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46814342807741,"sku":"MKG0018","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260618_scenecut_SUZ.27.jpg?v=1782113704","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/fr\/products\/iga-sometsuke-kobachi-small-bowl","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
