Description
As the eldest son of Sozan Kaneshige and heir to the Enzan kiln, Makoto Kaneshige has captivated many collectors through the harmony of delicate, elegant clay tones and powerful form. This is one of his earlier Bizen Guinomi works.
A ceramic résumé up to 1999 is included, so this piece is believed to have been made around that time.
The entire outer surface is covered in Kigoma, while the interior features a soft, airy Hidasuki—a superb balance, as achieving both Hidasuki and Goma together is often considered technically demanding in terms of firing control.
The Hidasuki inside, paired with the bright gray clay tone, has an inviting presence, and the richly nuanced surface—grounded in the quality of the clay—becomes even more beautiful and vivid when filled with sake.
The foot is deeply carved, as if testing the limits of the tatatsuki, and this bold treatment seems to have been one of Makoto’s signature approaches even at the time. Even without excessive decoration, the piece speaks eloquently through its presence alone.
Although it is an earlier work, there are no stains or signs of use.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1945 as the eldest son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He graduated from Kyoto University in 1969.
He became his father's disciple.
