Description

Michiaki Kaneshige is the eldest son of Toyo Kaneshige.

He creates traditional Bizen ware and innovative sculptures while following the teachings of his father, Toyo Kaneshige.

This elegant Guinomi was first shaped on the potter’s wheel and then gently refined by hand into a squared form.
A powerful, carved circular pattern appears in the interior base, offering a subtle yet sophisticated expression.

The piece showcases a remarkable clay texture that can only be achieved through meticulous clay preparation.
The earthy tone is dominated by a rich shiso-like purple hue, giving it a vibrant and aromatic presence.

A Hidasuki mark—modestly applied near the foot—adds a beautiful accent to the piece.
Though functionally a result of the kiln-stacking process, this detail contributes significantly to the work’s aesthetic impact.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1934 as the eldest son of Toyo Kaneshige.
He became his father's disciple in 1955 after graduating from college.
He passed away in 1995.
