{"product_id":"rippling-sazameku","title":"Rippling Sazameku","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis piece features bold overglaze painting and reflects the refined artistry and delicate craftsmanship distinctive to Kutani ware. The silver sheen of the platinum glaze evokes the soft murmur of waves, while the glassy luster, characteristic of Kutani overglaze enamels, brings the surface to life. Hand-formed without a pottery wheel, the sculptural contours retain a rugged, natural texture reminiscent of rocky terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silky feel of the glaze and the delicate, rippling wave patterns impart an organic softness. The gradation of white and green glazes appears to capture a fleeting moment, like waves gently rising and falling across a tranquil sea. The overglaze decoration is composed of layered indigo blue, white, and platinum, applied in a carefully balanced sequence. These overlapping glazes conjure an image of the deep, silent ocean, rich in depth and touched by sunlight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive feature is the \u003cem\u003eyudare, \u003c\/em\u003ethe flowing effect formed as the glaze drips and halts during firing. This phenomenon, achievable only through precise control of temperature and glaze consistency, results in unrepeatable patterns that make each piece truly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs its name, \u003cem\u003esazameku\u003c\/em\u003e (rippling), suggests, the spirit of waves flows through the entire piece. Yet interpretation is left open to the viewer. When held in the hand, it may call to mind the glittering surface of the sea or the gentle undulation of water in motion. Inverted, its silhouette recalls alpine peaks rising against the sky, offering new perspectives with every angle.\u003c!-- notionvc: 9fb38cee-d1ab-48a4-bb69-8f9ea43afcb2 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitano-Tojudo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45187060105405,"sku":"YS-18","price":682.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/YS-18-2.jpg?v=1754628217","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/rippling-sazameku","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
