{"product_id":"p4937","title":"Ibe Tokkuri","description":"This is a newly fired Ibe sake bottle by Yuho Kaneshige, an artist who, despite belonging to the esteemed Kaneshige lineage, constantly questions himself and creates works not merely as a Kaneshige, but as an individual potter. This sake bottle is part of a series he has been developing for the past three or four years that leans towards a plain aesthetic, crafted from high-quality clay and carefully fired in a climbing kiln. This particular piece displays a magnificent scarlet coloration—a hue so refined, understated, and warm that it evokes a sense of tranquility unique to Bizen ware. As Kaneshige sensei himself remarked, \"I am using the finest rice field clay,\" and one touch reveals a remarkably fine texture that immediately captivates you. A light dusting of sesame-seed ash (goma) on the reverse side creates an atmosphere of profound wabi-sabi, resulting in a sophisticated, weathered piece that strongly reflects his personal aesthetic.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.4cm × Body diameter 10.3cm × 10.2cm × Height 11.4cm, Capacity 370cc\n\nYuho Kaneshige was born the third son of Intangible Cultural Property holder Sozan Kaneshige. He began studying pottery techniques under his father in 1975. In 1980, he became independent and held his first solo exhibition in Okayama. He creates tea ceramics, including tea bowls, water jars, and flower vases, as well as tableware. In his tea bowls, which he particularly favors, he emphasizes the interior molding (mikomi) while pursuing the perfect balance of the exterior. He has received the Sanyo Shimbun Award at the Prefectural Exhibition, the Encouragement Award at the Exhibition of Modeling for Tea Ceremony, and the Encouragement Award at the Tanko Biennale. In 2003, he received the Japan Ceramic Society Award. He is also dedicated to his solo exhibitions, which are held at various locations.","brand":"金重有邦","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618665975905,"sku":"4937","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/4937.jpg?v=1790239658","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p4937","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
