Description

He cherishes clay very much, as is tradition for the Kaneshige clan.
The Kaneshige clan does not use machinery to process their clay.
The clay material is prepared by hand.
As a result, the quality of the clay they use is incredible.
This piece was fired in an electric kiln at the end of 2020.
His electric kiln is equipped with flues, allowing it to be fired with firewood as well.
The firing process takes about one week, which is a considerable amount of time.
The flames from the firewood create a beautiful surface that cannot be achieved by electricity alone.

He was born in Tokyo in 1972 as the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige.
He graduated from Waseda University in 1994.
He completed the graduate sculpture program at Long Island University in New York in 2000.
He then became his father's apprentice.
