{"product_id":"sculptural-jar-no-35","title":"Sculptural Jar No. 35","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA monumental hand-sculpted ceramic jar from Dogabi — a South Korean ceramic studio whose entire output is built around a single figure: the dokkaebi, or Korean goblin. In Korean folklore, the dokkaebi is not a villain. It is a guardian — a protector of the home, a bringer of abundance, a creature that lives in the space between the frightening and the familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis piece, No. 35, is named “Han-nuni” (한눈이) — Korean for “the one-eyed one” — and sits at the top of the Dogabi scale, both in size and in intensity. Part of the artist’s Sculptural Jar series, it stands nearly 16 inches tall and weighs over 11 pounds. Wheel-thrown and hand-sculpted from matte black clay, the body carries a single, striking cyclops eye at its center — set with a vivid red stone pupil ringed in 24K liquid gold. Two tall sweeping horns rise from the crown in deep oxblood-black. Carved cloud motifs flow across the forehead and down the cheeks, finished in gold, and a wide-open mouth reveals a full row of sharp 24K gold teeth. On the back and base, the cloud motifs continue, carved into the matte clay surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFired at 2,282°F with oxidation glaze firing, then re-fired at 1,472°F for the gold.

The studio’s work spans functional objects and one-of-a-kind sculpture, but the Dogabi series is its most singular obsession: every piece is a new version of the same figure — the dokkaebi of Korean folklore, reimagined in porcelain and clay each time. The dokkaebi has been part of Korean imagination for centuries, appearing as guardian, trickster, monster, and protector depending on who is telling the story. Kim’s versions are all of these at once. Each is numbered, each is different, and none come back once they’re gone. In October 2025, Takamichi Beauty Room hosted an exhibition with the artist, covered by T Magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOGABI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50888514339041,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/8696\/8545\/files\/DogabiJarNo35_c733c6ab-11db-4ac5-aeb6-5382194218b6.jpg?v=1791659784","url":"https:\/\/takamichibeautyroom.com\/products\/sculptural-jar-no-35","provider":"Takamichi Beauty Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
