{"product_id":"koju-tenmoku","title":"Koju Tenmoku","description":"\u003cp\u003eA glaze in constant motion, shifting with infinite possibilities. This piece is a striking display of \u003cem\u003etenmoku\u003c\/em\u003e’s untamed beauty as patterns unfurl like bursts of energy, pooling into jewel-like formations that seem to glow from within. Named by master ceramicist Dobuchi Yoshiaki as an original creation, Koju combines \u003cem\u003eko\u003c\/em\u003e (tiger) and \u003cem\u003eju\u003c\/em\u003e (jewel) to reflect both the wild, unpredictable nature of the glaze and the deep, radiant orbs that emerge in the firing, reminiscent of a tiger’s piercing gaze or the shimmer of a precious stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbracing the unpredictability of tenmoku, Dobuchi’s dedicated research into this classical glaze has led to original and unexpected discoveries. By layering the glaze two or three times, he allows complex reactions to unfold within the heat of the kiln, creating intricate, organic patterns. No two pieces are ever alike, as the glaze transforms unpredictably—streaks of ivory streak across rich amber depths, punctuated by gleaming, glassy pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of tenmoku dates back over 800 years to a single kiln during the Southern Song dynasty in China, where it was revered for its rich, reflective depth. But tenmoku is a glaze of transformation. One that emerges suddenly and is never fully within the potter’s control. Even after centuries of study, its most breathtaking variations appear unexpectedly, shaped by the delicate balance of heat, oxygen, and mineral reactions in the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touan","offers":[{"title":"Ⅰ","offer_id":45138028331197,"sku":"TOAN0011","price":492.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ⅱ","offer_id":45138028363965,"sku":"TOAN0022","price":492.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/250610___Piece_ll_21.jpg?v=1749617440","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/koju-tenmoku","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
