{"product_id":"p7967","title":"Ibe Hidasuki Mukozuke with handle","description":"This is a slightly earlier work by Arimitsu Kaneshige, an Ibe-hidasuki handled mukozuke (small dish), created by the artist as he constantly questions himself while remaining part of the Kaneshige lineage. \u003cbr\u003e\nFired in an Ibe electric kiln designed by Sozan Kaneshige, this piece was crafted around 2002 as the culmination of his tableware production.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach piece is meticulously crafted in such fine detail that it transcends the category of tableware, venturing into the realm of intricate art objects.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bifurcated handle, which seems to compete with the art of fine metalwork, is beautiful on its own, but above all, the calculation of its slender diameter and the balance with the footed body are exquisite.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe delicate hidasuki (fire-cord) markings created by the high-quality clay are stunning; precisely because they are hidasuki without natural glaze, one can fully enjoy the sharp lines achieved through the tatara (slab-building) technique.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body is made relatively deep, allowing it to accommodate dishes with liquid, while the delicate hidasuki and brilliant form will remarkably enhance the appeal of the food served in it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was originally part of a set of eight, but is now sold individually, and a new paulownia box can be created. We can also create boxes that house multiple pieces, so please feel free to consult us regarding set purchases.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA work of the same model is on display at the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art from March 8 to May 17, 2026, in the exhibition \"Arimitsu Kaneshige: The Kotodama of Clay.\"\n\nNo box (※A custom paulownia box can be made separately)\nW 13.7cm (including handle) × D 10.3cm × H 11.7cm (including handle)\n\nArimitsu Kaneshige was born as the third son of the Intangible Cultural Property holder Sozan Kaneshige.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe studied pottery techniques under his father, Sozan Kaneshige, starting 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 creating tableware, centered on tea ceramics such as tea bowls, water jars, and flower vases.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn his tea bowls, which he particularly loves, he emphasizes the interior molding (mikomi) while pursuing a balance between usability and the exterior.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe has received the Sanyo Shimbun Award at the Prefectural Exhibition, the Encouragement Award at the Exhibition of Tea Ceremony Ceramics, and the Tanko Biennale Encouragement Award, among others.\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 Okayama Prefecture-designated Important Intangible Cultural Property.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is also dedicated to solo exhibitions, which are held at various locations both within and outside the prefecture.","brand":"金重有邦","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618219053153,"sku":"7967","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/7967.jpg?v=1790233543","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p7967","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
