{"product_id":"p8046","title":"Hidasuki Sake Cup","description":"This is a hidasuki (fire-cord) sake cup by Mitsuhiro Kaneshige, an artist who, despite being born into the Kaneshige Ritoen, one of the six prestigious Bizen kiln families, creates ceramics guided solely by his own inquisitive spirit, regardless of his name.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece represents his approach to the textures of the ancient ceramics he admires, achieved by combining electric and wood-firing under various conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sake cup features a soft, brownish surface adorned with a deep, vermilion hidasuki, a finish that strongly reflects the artist's dedication to the firing process.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, as this piece was hand-formed, the surface is covered in numerous crack-like lines, creating an earthy texture reminiscent of cracked ground that pairs perfectly with the rich hidasuki.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe interior is covered in hidasuki, except for the very bottom, creating an interesting landscape that perfectly complements the design, which resembles a halved eggshell.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile this is a hidasuki piece that leaves the bare clay exposed without the use of natural ash glazes, the rim has been crafted with great care and intensity down to the very edge.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (we kindly ask for your patience as it will take some time before shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.0cm x 6.7cm x Height 5.2cm\n\nMitsuhiro Kaneshige was born in 1988 into the Kaneshige Ritoen kiln in Imbe, Bizen City.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe entered the Bizen Ceramic Center in 2017 and fired his first kiln in 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2023, he received the Excellence Award at the Chanoyu Modeling Exhibition, and in 2024, he held his first solo exhibition.","brand":"金重充宏","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618234814561,"sku":"8046","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/8046.jpg?v=1790233673","url":"https:\/\/tourakuen.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/p8046","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
