{"product_id":"p6390","title":"Ibe Hidasuki Sake Cup","description":"While being a member of the Kaneshige lineage, he has constantly continued to question himself and creates his works as a potter named Yuho, rather than as Kaneshige Yuho; this is an Ibe hidasuki sake cup from a slightly earlier period by Kaneshige Yuho-sensei.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA resume of his ceramic career up to 2002 is enclosed, so it is believed to have been created around that time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe piece was fired in a custom-built electric kiln at Ushigami-shita in Ibe, and it is a sake cup with a dignified structure featuring a wide body and foot that could easily be mistaken for a work by Sozan-sensei.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe interior, with its spacious, open feel, is almost like that of a tea ceramic, and combined with the swirling wheel marks left strongly on the surface, it possesses a presence that draws you in.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe overall style is rounded and thick, giving it a sense of solidity, yet when held, it has been finished with a weight that is perfect for a sake cup. The rim, which is thinly potted in contrast to the substantial foot, is elegant and seems very comfortable to use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt has been fired strongly enough that a slight blister has appeared on the interior, and the fox-colored clay body is decorated with deep crimson hidasuki (fire-cord) markings, allowing one to enjoy both splendor and wabi-sabi.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough it is an older work, there are no signs of use or stains.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.5cm x 7.3cm x Height 4.4cm\n\nKaneshige Yuho-sensei was born as the third son of Intangible Cultural Property holder Kaneshige Sozan-sensei.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe began learning pottery techniques under his father, Kaneshige Sozan-sensei, in 1975.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe became independent in 1980 and held his first solo exhibition in Okayama.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCurrently, he mainly creates tea ceramics such as tea bowls, water jars, and flower vases, as well as tableware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe places particular emphasis on the interior structure (mikomi) of his favorite tea bowls, pursuing a balance between ease of use and the exterior form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe has received the Sanyo Shimbun Award at the Prefectural Exhibition, the Encouragement Award at the Exhibition of Tea Ceremony Ceramics, and the Tanko Biennale Encouragement Award.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe received the Japan Ceramic Society Award in 2002 and the Sanyo Shimbun Cultural Merit Award in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2019, he was designated as a holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property by Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is also dedicated to his solo exhibitions, which are held at various locations both within and outside the prefecture.","brand":"金重有邦","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618050756705,"sku":"6390","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6390.jpg?v=1790231499","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p6390","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
