{"product_id":"p2510","title":"Bizen Sake Cup","description":"This is an earlier Bizen sake cup by Susumu Kaneshige, the eldest son of the master craftsman Sozan Kaneshige, whose work captivates many with its harmony of delicate, elegant clay texture and powerful form. It includes a ceramic history profile updated through 1996, suggesting it is a piece from about 15 years ago. It features a soft, gentle scarlet hue, as if the cup itself had become intoxicated. The color of the interior is particularly superb; while scarlet, it has a slight sheen reminiscent of gold, emitting a faint glow like orange silk. The unique form, resembling a bud beginning to open, is also wonderful. (There is little sign of use, but please be aware that the box is slightly sun-damaged.)\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.5cm × 6.4cm × Height 6.6cm\n\nSusumu Kaneshige is the eldest son of the Intangible Cultural Property holder Sozan Kaneshige. After graduating from the Faculty of Agriculture at Kyoto University, he began his path in ceramics under his father in 1969, becoming independent in 1979. He primarily focuses on tea ceramics thrown on the wheel, characterized by deep firing techniques. He strives to eliminate ornamentation as much as possible, focusing on channeling his spirit directly into the clay. He rarely enters public exhibitions, preferring to focus his creative energy on solo exhibitions, which he holds energetically every year at department stores in cities including Okayama, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto. In 1995, he held a solo exhibition in Munich, Germany, and in 1997, he exhibited at the Bizen Ware Paris Exhibition.","brand":"金重 愫","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618458194017,"sku":"2510","price":70000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/2510.jpg?v=1790236491","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p2510","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
