Imbe Guinomi

From an early age, he learned the spirit of the Kaneshige family and the techniques of clay preparation.
His recent works consist primarily of glazed pieces and those with very few fire patterns.
He fired this Guinomi approximately 10 years ago in the kiln he inherited from his grandfather and father.
He dislikes excessive fire patterns featuring natural glaze.
He prefers fire patterns that occur in the amounts that naturally adhere during the firing process of the piece.
This Guinomi features a subtle Yohen and Kasegoma, along with a beautiful scarlet clay color.
These are Kaneshige fire patterns that are rarely seen in his works today.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1965 as the eldest son of Michiaki Kaneshige.
He became independent as a ceramic artist in 1995.
