He works with the clay without sparing any effort or time, resulting in an exceptionally luxurious coffee cup that highlights the profound, quintessential Bizen texture for which the Kaneshige family is known. Its large, clean form, which seems to reflect a straightforward spirit, is refined and unpretentious, ensuring it can be enjoyed for a long time without ever growing tiresome.
