{"product_id":"p8003","title":"Ibe Hidasuki Mukozuke with handle","description":"This is a slightly earlier work—an Ibe hidasuki mukozuke (side dish bowl) with a handle—by Yuho Kaneshige, a potter who, while part of the Kaneshige lineage, constantly questions himself and creates works as an individual artist.\u003cbr\u003e\nFired in an Ibe electric kiln designed by Sozan Kaneshige, this piece was created around 2002 as the culmination of his tableware production.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach piece is meticulously crafted with such fine detail that it transcends the category of tableware, venturing into the realm of ornamental craft.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs if competing in technical skill, the bifurcated handle is beautiful in its own right, but the calculation of its slender diameter is particularly impressive, striking an excellent balance with the footed body.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe delicate hidasuki (fire-cord) patterns produced by the high-quality clay are stunning. Because the hidasuki style does not allow for natural glaze, one can fully enjoy the sharp lines created through the tatara (slab-building) technique.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body of the bowl is relatively deep, making it suitable for dishes with sauce, and its delicate hidasuki patterns and elegant form will greatly enhance the appeal of any food served in it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginally part of a set of eight, these are now sold individually, and a new paulownia wood box can be made for each. We can also create paulownia boxes to hold multiple pieces, so please feel free to consult us regarding set purchases.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA piece of the same design is featured in the exhibition \"Yuho Kaneshige: The Spirit of Clay,\" held at the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art from March 8 to May 17, 2026.\n\nNo box included (*a separate paulownia box can be made)\nWidth including handle: 13.7cm x Depth: 10.1cm x Height including handle: 12.4cm\n\nYuho Kaneshige was born as the third son of Sozan Kaneshige, an Intangible Cultural Property holder.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe began learning the art of pottery 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 creating tableware as well as tea ceramics such as tea bowls, water jars, and flower vases.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn his tea bowls, which he particularly enjoys making, he emphasizes the interior form (mikomi) and pursues a balance between ease of use and the exterior appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe has received the Sanyo Shimbun Prize at the Prefectural Exhibition, the Encouragement Prize at the Exhibition of Tea Ceremony Forms, and the Tanko Biennale Encouragement Prize, 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 Important Intangible Cultural Property by Okayama Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is also dedicated to his 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":46618225573985,"sku":"8003","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8003.jpg?v=1790233602","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p8003","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
