Description
They inherit the careful and quiet style of Yuho Kaneshige.
They were too afraid to use Bizen clay when the studio was first formed.
You can tell they take very good care of their clay.
Their mentor, Sozan Kaneshige, was also skilled at glazed work.
This is a Guinomi inspired by the works of the Yi Dynasty, which all Japanese admire.
The more it is used, the more it will develop a withered, austere hue.
This quiet aesthetic directly translates into exceptional usability.
The slightly thin rim and refined proportions are truly remarkable.
As one would expect from a disciple of Yuho Kaneshige, the work does not end with mere beauty.
By using slightly coarse clay, the artist has allowed for the occurrence of extremely fine stone bursts throughout the surface—tiny accents that, like life sprouting from beneath the snow, enrich the piece with depth and character.
Fired with wood, the work also exhibits areas of natural Yohen, endowing it with the presence and dignity of a time-honored heirloom despite being newly made.
