{"product_id":"p1655","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is a Bizen sake cup by Tsuyoshi Kaneshige, a Bizen treasure whose grandfather was a Living National Treasure and whose father was an Intangible Cultural Property holder. For this piece, the artist constructed a hollow space similar to a \"suna\" (pit) out of bricks inside his existing anagama kiln, firing the work while accumulating charcoal-like embers known as \"okibi.\" This approach simplifies the system of the \"hi-mae\" chamber—considered the most important part of a climbing kiln—allowing flames to rush past the T-shaped brick structure to create an intense kiln transformation. The piece is a perfect fusion of Kaneshige’s signature gentle craftsmanship and fierce firing, resulting in a work where stillness and motion coexist.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please allow some time for shipment)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.9cm x Diameter 6.8cm x Height 5.7cm\n\nTsuyoshi Kaneshige was born as the second son of Intangible Cultural Property holder Michiaki Kaneshige and is the grandson of the great Living National Treasure, Toyo Kaneshige.
