{"product_id":"bo463","title":"Cheek Armor Cup, Hawk Form, Mt. Fuji","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong Koga's works, the highly popular Hoyoroi-hai (Cheek-Armor Cup) series takes the kawari-kabuto (eccentric helmet) of Sengoku warlords as its motif, expressing the way of life and spirit of these men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The present age is truly one of gekokujo,\" says Koga.\u003cbr\u003eAs social media developed and everyone came to hold a voice, an era emerged in which one's own will to aim high and courage to speak up mattered more than one's origin or hometown. 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 work draws inspiration from the swift, valiant image of a hawk, and from things like the armor of the karasu-tengu (crow goblin).\u003cbr\u003eThis expresses the cheek fur streaming upward as if toward the sky, mouth wide open, letting out a cry while threatening its opponent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRendered in white, purple, and indigo, expressing Mount Fuji with snow still capping its peak.\u003cbr\u003eThe white is the natural color of the porcelain body; the areas ranging from blue to purple use a cobalt-based glaze that changes color when a glossy, transparent glaze is applied over it. As a result, the piece offers a gradation of two textures and colors — a matte purple and a glassy indigo.\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\u003eW170 × D140 × H180 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":49232407298299,"sku":"BO463","price":110000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/4745\/3947\/files\/bownd-bo-463-1_992ebff3-bb87-48fc-aece-836fd551e1ba.jpg?v=1787924274","url":"https:\/\/www.b-ownd.com\/en\/products\/bo463","provider":"B-OWND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
