Description
Yuho Kaneshige is the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He inherited the Inbe house and kiln from his father.
He initially presented traditional Kaneshige-style works.
However, around 2018, he embarked on a new challenge.
He demolished the kiln inherited from his father and built a more primitive one.
This guinomi was fired around 2001.
This piece was crafted using clay that Yuho Kaneshige personally excavated in the Karatsu region.
It beautifully combines his meticulous craftsmanship with the rustic charm of Karatsu ware.
The coarse clay—an essential characteristic of authentic Karatsu—gives the piece a bold presence, with the foot exhibiting elegant chirimen-jimo (crepe-like wrinkles) for a refined, subdued finish.
The glaze is a simple combination of ash glaze and iron decoration, utilizing carefully selected natural materials.
Compact and elegant in form, this is a fine piece best enjoyed alongside a Bizen tokkuri.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1950 as the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He became his father's apprentice in 1975.
He established himself as an independent ceramic artist in 1980.
