{"product_id":"kenji-becher-130-ml-2","title":"Kenji Cup 130 ml","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"57\" data-end=\"438\"\u003eThis exceptional cup comes from the workshop of Takumi Hotta, a contemporary ceramic artist from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture—one of Japan’s most traditional pottery regions. In his work, Hotta combines technical precision with a clear design language that deliberately highlights the material and surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"981\"\u003eThe finely faceted, hand-worked surface is particularly characteristic: countless small, slightly irregular marks texture the body, creating a lively interplay of light and shadow. This treatment gives the piece not only visual depth but also a pleasant tactile quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1010\"\u003eMaterial and Technique\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eCrafted from light, unglazed clay, the cup appears minimalist yet powerful. The matte surface emphasizes the natural quality of the material and reflects the Japanese aesthetic of restraint. As is typical of high-quality Tokoname ceramics, each piece is carefully handcrafted—from throwing on the wheel and manual texturing to the precise attachment of the spout and lid. Small irregularities are a testament to this artisanal process and highlight the uniqueness of each individual pot. A work by Takumi Hotta that respects Tokoname’s long tradition while bearing a contemporary, distinctive signature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53908765114697,"sku":"Kenji Becher 3","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9851\/3737\/files\/LP200692.jpg?v=1771713777","url":"https:\/\/japankeramik.de\/en\/products\/kenji-becher-130-ml-2","provider":"Japan Keramik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
