{"product_id":"bo2145","title":"NEO MANEKINEKO","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile visiting New York, Koga spotted a \"maneki-neko\" in a shop with no apparent connection to Japan. Surprised by its striking presence even within a foreign culture, this experience became the impetus for this series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoga's style is grounded in the classical forms of Japanese art. His signature piece {Hoyoroi Sakazuki}, for instance, takes as its motif the \"kawari-kabuto\" (distinctively individual helmets) of Warring States warlords, reborn as a contemporary form — with Koga adding his own \"concept\", a lens on contemporary society and beyond. In this \"maneki-neko\" too, based on the typical form, studs — which Koga uses as a symbol of \"power\" and \"rebellious spirit\" — are attached, visualizing \"divine power\" and \"great ambition\". In this way, the role long carried by the \"maneki-neko\" is inherited, and by giving the work Koga's own view of and thinking on contemporary society, it becomes a new \"maneki-neko\" for the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArtist\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTakahiro Koga (Fukuoka)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial \u0026 Technique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorcelain Clay (Amakusa Porcelain Stone)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW360 × D310 × H380 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"古賀 崇洋","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49232505962747,"sku":"BO2145","price":1500000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/4745\/3947\/files\/bownd-bo-2145-1_f35f7e5c-85e2-4694-b15a-d307f8b7c947.jpg?v=1787926818","url":"https:\/\/www.b-ownd.com\/en\/products\/bo2145","provider":"B-OWND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
