{"product_id":"p1505","title":"Ibe Shuten","description":"This is an Ibe sake cup by Michiaki Kaneshige, who was born as the eldest son of the master Toyo Kaneshige and captivated everyone with a style that incorporated his own unique sense into tradition. The charm lies in the clay body, which features a gradation from perilla-purple to orange that identifies it as a Michiaki work at a single glance. Its well-balanced form seems to take on an even more refined quality, clad in this beautiful clay texture. The *hidasuki* (fire-cord) markings around the waist are also deeply evocative, making for a truly elegant sake cup.\n\nOriginal wooden box (with two-way cross-bar lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.7cm × 6.6cm × Height 5.0cm\n\nMichiaki Kaneshige (1934–1977) was born in Inbe as the eldest son of the Living National Treasure, Toyo Kaneshige.
