{"product_id":"lichen","title":"Lichen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sturdy, bottle-shaped flower vase with a rolled, flaring lip and two small clay lugs — \u003cem\u003emimi\u003c\/em\u003e, 'ears' — on the shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne side faced the heart of the fire. Wood ash fell thick across it and melted into a cascade of olive-green and gold glass, pooling in drips and spatters over a pewter-blue ground, crusted and raised like lichen growing on old stone — in Bizen this ash is called \u003cem\u003egoma\u003c\/em\u003e, 'sesame'. The other side stayed a quiet red-brown, scattered with tiny golden beads of ash like stars, with one rough patch where something rested against the pot in the kiln and left its print, and a soft round \u003cem\u003ebotamochi\u003c\/em\u003e mark near the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnglazed Bizen stoneware, wood-fired in one continuous firing near Bizen, Okayama (GPS 34.7456°N, 134.1894°E). Its colour and markings are kiln transformation (yōhen) — the record of earth and flame in a single moment, not a pattern anyone chose. One of a kind, shaped by human hands, and impossible to reproduce. Traceable to the kiln that made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 155 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragile by nature and packed for the journey.
