Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
The strong cold wave is continuing to bring us very cold days.
Please take good care of your health.
Today, I would like to announce an exhibition of new sake vessels by Arimasa Kaneshige.
Starting at 8:00 PM on February 12th, we will be introducing a selection of sake vessels fresh from the kiln.
Over a decade ago, Arimasa shifted his focus to creating works primarily using "mountain clay," which is very rare for the Kaneshige school,
but this time he has worked on *haikaburi* (ash-covered) kiln-change pieces, which could be called the hallmark of the Kaneshige family.
Judging by the years that have passed, I imagine he must have faced many hesitations and conflicts.
While inevitably having to face the legacy left behind by Toyo Kaneshige and Sozan Kaneshige,
he has put forth tremendous effort to create work that only he could produce—work that he himself could be satisfied with—
in order to arrive at something that only Arimasa Kaneshige can create.
This sale will center on these "Arimasa Kaneshige kiln-change sake vessels."
We are also accepting reservations, so please contact us here.
We hope you will take a look.
