Description
He built his first kiln in Maruyama, Okayama in 1964.
The kiln is now used by his eldest son, Makoto Kaneshige.
A group of unfired Sosan Kohiki pieces were found in a warehouse near the kiln.
They were likely made and white-slipped by him about 50 years ago.
Makoto thought it was a waste to leave them, so he tried firing them in the kiln and succeeded.
The finished glaze has a pale yellow tinge from being fired in the kiln.
The soft white color pairs very well with his laid-back design.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1909.
He was 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.
