Bizen Sake Cup

These are new sake cups by Tsuyoshi Kaneshige, marking a new milestone in his career following the construction of his anagama kiln in Kukui. These sake cups allow you to fully enjoy the rustic, earthy charm characteristic of Bizen ware. Their quiet, serene form, reminiscent of his father Michiaki, fits perfectly in your hand the moment you pick them up. Unpretentious and natural, they seem to reflect the artist’s own character, making them pieces that exude the warmth typical of ceramic works.
