Description
This is an Ibe sake flask by Michiaki Kaneshige, the eldest son of the master Toyo Kaneshige, whose work captivated everyone by infusing a unique sensibility into tradition. This piece, created between the artist’s middle and late periods, features a "kase-goma" (dry sesame) ash glaze with a fine texture reminiscent of tree bark or tanned leather. While Michiaki inherited the style of his father, Toyo, he established a more straightforward and gentle aesthetic of his own. Triangular flasks like this one were a particularly distinctive form for Michiaki, resulting in a work that is as elegant as it is serene. The bluish moss-green kase-goma glaze fired across the entire surface creates a charming, moss-covered appearance. The areas where the scarlet fire marks appear are the true hallmark of Kaneshige Bizen, where perilla-colored, golden, and scarlet hues are layered like a twelve-layered ceremonial robe, offering the intriguing sensation of peering beneath layers of moss.
