{"product_id":"p1740","title":"Bizen ware sake bottle","description":"This is the latest Bizen sake bottle by Junpei Kaneshige, the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige, the leading figure of the Kaneshige lineage. This piece features the traditional flattened (henko) form inherited from Toyo Kaneshige and Kosuke Kaneshige, combined with a profound, textured *kase-yoh-hen* (matte kiln change). *Kase-yoh-hen* is a traditional firing technique devised by Toyo Kaneshige that occurs between the firebox and the first chamber; the combination of this kiln effect with the flattened form feels as if we are being presented with the cutting edge of Kaneshige's history. The *kase-goma* (matte sesame ash glaze), as fine-grained and dense as tree bark, has been polished for many times longer than usual, resulting in a surprisingly gentle texture. With a scarlet clay body that completely eliminates any sense of ostentation—a result of a singular devotion to the earth—it is no exaggeration to say that this piece allows you to fully experience everything that defines the Kaneshige name.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 3.7cm x Body 10.3cm x 9.7cm x Height 10.9cm. Capacity 400ml.\n\nJunpei Kaneshige was born in Komaba, Tokyo, in 1972 as the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige.
