{"product_id":"p5638","title":"Ibe Tokkuri","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.\n\nSigned wooden box (shihō-san) with lid\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.8cm x Body 8.9cm x Body 8.6cm x Height 13.3cm Capacity approx. 350cc\n\nMichiaki Kaneshige was born in Ibe in 1934 as the eldest son of Toyo Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe graduated from the Kanazawa College of Art in 1955 with a degree in crafts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThereafter, he studied under his father, Toyo Kaneshige, and pursued a path in ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition to tea ceramics such as water jars and flower vases, he also created geometric objects and bowls.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe exhibited his work in exhibitions both within Japan and overseas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom 1957, he was selected for the Asahi Modern Ceramics Exhibition for three consecutive years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe also expanded his presence by being selected for the Nitten Exhibition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1960, he toured the United States to observe ceramic arts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe became a full member of the Japan Kōgei Association in 1969.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe received the Toyo Kaneshige Award in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1973, he was recommended as a committee member for the Issuikai Ceramics Department, and in 1980, he received the Japan Ceramic Society Award.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1990, he was designated as a Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property by Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe passed away in 1995.","brand":"金重道明","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618001309793,"sku":"5638","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/5638.jpg?v=1790230984","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p5638","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
