{"product_id":"oribe-peaks","title":"Oribe Peaks","description":"\u003cp\u003eIga ware artist Fukushima Kazuhiro explores new ground in this Oribe piece with a two-peaked form. Existing as an \u003cem\u003eobjet d’art\u003c\/em\u003e, Fukushima crafted this piece with the intention of creating something that feels pleasant just to have by one’s side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece contrasts a rough, textural surface with the sculptural rim, as if a slice of earth had been carefully carved away. It harmonizes with the landscape of clay, interrupting without being abrupt, adding a geometrical aspect to a piece that otherwise seems to flow organically. The faceted surface deepens this sense of movement, creating a dynamic form that reveals new scenery with every repeated look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour types of layered glaze run and nestle in the textured ridges, rough clay revealed beside glossy rivulets to suggest the way organic forces of life act upon a landscape. Blue glaze settles softly in the interior, like looking into a mountain pool. Small pinholes known as \u003cem\u003eishihaze \u003c\/em\u003eappear where stones within the clay body have risen to the surface, celebrating rather than hiding the expressiveness of the material itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a vessel at the precipice of the avant-garde, one that goes beyond conventional ideas. While grounded in the materials and techniques of Iga ware, Fukushima thus creates something that invites new inquiries into purpose and artistic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mukaigama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46665292939453,"sku":"MKG0029","price":1965.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260323_MKG0029_SMK_014.jpg?v=1777269372","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/oribe-peaks","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
