Description
I guess he did this work between the ages of 60 and 70.
In his later years, he moved to a quieter, more powerful style, but around age 60 to 70, his works were more decorative and dynamic in style.
There are three wonderful things about this work.
The first is the fire pattern.
The rich gray Yohen, the rocky Kigoma, and the beautiful red clay colors are very fine.
The second is the intense spatula carving of the pattern.
The kanji characters for "moon" and "flower" are embedded on either side, separated by a simplified hedge pattern.
Finally, the two elements are fused together into a single sake bottle, and it is amazing that they do not interfere with each other and come together as a complete work of art.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1909.
He served as an assistant to his older brother, Toyo Kaneshige.
He built a kiln in Maruyama, Okayama Prefecture, in 1964.
A few years later, he perfected the Hidasuki technique using an electric kiln.
He returned to Bizen City in 1982.
He passed away in 1995.
