Description

He cherishes clay very much as the Kaneshige family does.
The Kaneshige family does not use machines to process their clay.
The clay material is prepared by hand.
As a result, the quality of the clay they use is amazing.
This Tokkuri (sake bottle) was fired in December 2021.
It is a robust "Yohen" (kiln-transformed) style Tokkuri that was fired amidst a large amount of burning charcoal.
However, the quality of the clay is so fine that a beautiful red clay color remains in the work.
The finish after firing is also very refined, making it a joy to hold.

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