Description
A freshly fired Bizen sake server by Yoshiteru Takariki, who studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige. Kiln-out: September 2025.
This katakuchi belongs to the Hikidashi-guro lineage that Takariki has been pursuing in recent years. What immediately catches the eye is the indigo nagare Goma—streams where natural ash glaze and cobalt intermingle.
Placed at the very front of the kiln and pulled during firing, the piece is veiled in natural ash that lends a wet luster across the surface. Around the foot the skin turns markedly metallic, with subtle shifts in tone that highlight the quiet mysteries of both Hikidashi-guro and light.
Inside, on a clay tone that has shifted to gray, indigo Goma pools just as it does on the front—an image that feels at once alive and mineral, like ore resting on a riverbed.
True to Takariki’s style, the orthodox, well-balanced form makes the piece approachable; for all its enigmatic scenery, it remains a practical, highly usable sake pourer.
He was born in Hyogo Prefecture in 1970.
He became a disciple of Sozan Kaneshige in 1989.
After the death of Sozan Kaneshige, he became a disciple of Yuho Kaneshige.
He became independent as a ceramic artist in 1996.
