Description
Yuho Kaneshige is the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He inherited the Inbe house and kiln from his father.
He initially presented works in the traditional Kaneshige style.
However, around 2018, he embarked on a new challenge.
He demolished the kiln he inherited from his father and built a more primitive one.
This guinomi was fired in May 2025.
This guinomi was created using clay that the artist unearthed himself in the Karatsu region around the mid-Heisei era. It represents the culmination of his work with glazed pottery.
The surface showcases the true charm of Karatsu ware—rustic and powerful. The slightly sandy clay was quickly trimmed, creating a rough texture that contrasts with the more refined feel of Bizen ware.
Although the piece is simply finished with ash glaze and no iron painting, it possesses a quiet elegance cultivated through the artist’s experience in crafting tea ceramics. The title "Karatsu Clay with Ash Glaze" reflects his free-spirited approach, unconstrained by tradition.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1950 as the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He became his father's disciple in 1975.
He established himself as an independent ceramic artist in 1980.
