Bizen Coffee Cup

This Bizen coffee cup was created by Jumpei Kaneshige, the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige, the leading figure of the Kaneshige school. This is a special piece commissioned directly from Mr. Jumpei Kaneshige. He spares no effort in his work, spending ample time engaging with the clay, resulting in an exceptionally luxurious coffee cup that highlights the profound, earthy quality characteristic of Kaneshige Bizen ware. Its large, clean-lined form, which seems to reflect a straightforward spirit, is unpretentious and promises lasting enjoyment. Signed wooden box (two-way crossbar construction)
