Description
They inherit the careful and quiet style of Yuho Kaneshige.
In fact, when the studio was first founded, they were too afraid to use Bizen clay—it was simply too precious.
You can clearly tell how much care and respect they have for their materials.
This piece was fired in a Tsuchigama, a primitive kiln that does not use refractory bricks.
As a result, the surface has a soft, rounded texture that gives the impression of having been gently worn over years of use, despite being newly made.
Furthermore, it is crafted using clay rich in mountain soil, and the firing method—especially the covered-firing of the body—
evokes the subtle austerity and vibrant vitality of Yuho Kaneshige’s mid-period works.
Its quiet aesthetic translates directly into excellent usability,
with a thinly crafted rim and a softly contoured body that fits comfortably in the hand.
