{"product_id":"oribe-stone-impressed","title":"Oribe Stone-Impressed","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this piece, Iga ware artisan Fukushima Kazuhiro pursues a form that carries the weight of carved earth. Its irregular silhouette and textured walls lend it a sculptural beauty, a presence that feels both intentional and elemental. In hand, it retains the density of its clay origins, offering a strength within its asymmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is made through \u003cem\u003ekurinuki\u003c\/em\u003e, a technique in which the outer form is shaped from a solid block of clay before the interior is patiently hollowed out. Because the clay must rest and firm between stages, the work proceeds slowly, often taking two to three days before carving can resume. Fukushima worked the sides with stone, leaving an uneven, tactile surface that contrasts with the smoothness of wheel-thrown pieces, imprinting the clay with both texture and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple glazes, including the deep green Oribe glaze infused with copper oxide, flow across the surface. Areas of bare clay stand in contrast to the richly glazed sections, where tones shift from emerald green to earthen brown, and where silver crystallizations have appeared within the basin. These unpredictable details are not erased but embraced, reflecting the artist’s respect for the living nature of fire and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mukaigama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45400545558717,"sku":"MKG0012","price":1802.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/20250902shimokawa_143_2a9d88b4-b0c1-44cf-bd3d-4b48a0e8a54d.jpg?v=1760405948","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/oribe-stone-impressed","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
