Within this worldview, {Hoyoroi Sakazuki} takes the kawari-kabuto (distinctive helmets) of Warring States warlords as its motif, expressing the human way of life and spirit — an encouragement for today's high-minded warriors living in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece is one of the earliest models Koga produced within the Cheek Armor Cup series.\u003cbr\u003eThis bronzeware-like expression also uses an original \"bronze glaze\" that Koga spent two years developing. It is distinguished by a deep coloring that recalls the weight of centuries, as on a bronze vessel from before the common era.\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\u003eCeramics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW110 × D155 × H170 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020\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":49232406970619,"sku":"BO458","price":77000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/4745\/3947\/files\/bownd-bo-458-1_1b478b3c-f11e-4f0c-bed2-3c65cec3fcd0.jpg?v=1787924261","url":"https:\/\/www.b-ownd.com\/en\/products\/bo458","provider":"B-OWND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
