Description
This is a yunomi (tea cup) created by Sozan Kaneshige at the Maruyama kiln.
I estimate he fired this piece when he was around 60 years old.
He fired it in his Maruyama-Gama kiln.
It is made of a slightly coarse clay adjusted for making tableware.
The swift design of the koudai (foot) and the powerful form of the body are masterfully executed, typical of his style.
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.
