Description

This Sakazuki was made by Sozan between the ages of 60 and 70.
This Hidasuki Sakazuki was fired in an electric kiln.
His electric kiln is equipped with ducts that allow for wood firing.
The firing process takes about one week, which is quite a long time.
The flames from the firewood create a beautiful surface texture that cannot be achieved by electricity alone.
The high level of preparation has allowed the clay to reach an excellent quality, resulting in a very smooth surface.

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.
