{"product_id":"p7922","title":"Ibe Guinomi","description":"This is a Bizen sake cup by Mr. Yuho Kaneshige, a potter who, despite being part of the Kaneshige lineage, constantly questions himself and creates works as an individual craftsman.\u003cbr\u003e\nBased on the style and the condition of the paulownia box, this piece is believed to have been created in the mid-Heisei period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFired at the Ibe Ushigami-shita kiln, which has since been demolished, this sake cup features the moss-green \"kase-goma\" (dry ash glaze) characteristic of climbing kiln firings.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs can be seen from the overall tone of the clay, this work was fired at an extremely high temperature, offering a different appeal from his current works fired in an earth kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Mr. Yuho currently fires his works with a degree of restraint on the natural ash glaze, this piece is \"unrestricted,\" with kase-goma covering more than half of the cup, allowing you to fully enjoy the high-quality ash glaze typical of the Kaneshige family.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form itself incorporates many elements of tea ceremony ceramics, with highly refined details such as the thin rim and the tapered shoulder.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough it is a pre-owned work, there is no dirt or signs of use.\n\nIncludes signed box (shiho-san style). *As there is no original ceramic biography, the latest one will be included.\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.7cm x 6.4cm x Height 5.7cm\n\nMr. Yuho Kaneshige was born as the third son of the Intangible Cultural Property holder, Mr. Sozan Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe began learning pottery techniques under his father, Sozan Kaneshige, in 1975.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe became independent in 1980 and held his first solo exhibition in Okayama.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe currently focuses on tea ceramics, such as tea bowls, water jars, and flower vases, as well as tableware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor his tea bowls, in particular, he prioritizes the interior shape (mikomi), pursuing a balance between comfort of use and the exterior form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe has received the Sanyo Shimbun Award at the Prefectural Exhibition, the Encouragement Prize at the Exhibition of Tea Ceremony Ceramics, and the Tanko Biennale Encouragement Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe received the Japan Ceramic Society Award in 2002 and the Sanyo Shimbun Cultural Merit Award in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2019, he was designated as a holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property by Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is also very active in holding solo exhibitions both within and outside the prefecture.","brand":"金重有邦","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618214006881,"sku":"7922","price":25300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7922.jpg?v=1790233473","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7922","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
