{"product_id":"p3791","title":"Bizen Yohen Beer Mug","description":"This is a newly fired Bizen beer tumbler by Iwao Kaneshige, an artist who was born and raised in the prestigious Kaneshige family lineage, working diligently at the kiln that produced masterpieces for generations under the great Toyo Kaneshige and Michiaki Kaneshige. These beer tumblers feature a simple finish that brings the natural flavor of the clay—which Iwao-sensei is particularly fond of—to the forefront. Each piece is unique and full of playfulness, with variations such as attached ears or spouted rims. They were fired in a spot within the kiln that captured the kiln transformation (yohen), which is noted on the box inscription. For this reason, the \"I\" pottery seal is carved deeply to ensure it remains visible despite falling ash.\n\nSigned wooden box (two-way slat)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.8cm × 6.1cm × Height 11.1cm\n\nIwao Kaneshige is the eldest son of Michiaki Kaneshige. Born and raised in a family of Bizen ware artists, he pursued a career in pottery due to his own love for the craft. After refining his techniques under the guidance of the Kaneshige family, he became independent in 1995 and held his first solo exhibition at a gallery in Okayama. He participated in the Kaneshige Family Exhibitions in 1999 and 2001.","brand":"金重 巖","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618547912801,"sku":"3791","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3791.jpg?v=1790238237","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p3791","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
