{"product_id":"p2684","title":"Bizen Guinomi","description":"This is a Bizen sake cup from a much earlier period by Michiaki Kaneshige, who was born as the eldest son of Toyo Kaneshige and captivated audiences with a style that infused unique sensibilities into tradition. Created when he was very young, this piece is characterized by a \"kase-goma\" (matte-textured sesame glaze) with a softer hue than that seen in his later years. The orange \"nuke\" (flashed areas) adds profound character, enhancing the piece along with the soft matte texture. His serious approach to wheel-throwing, unchanged from the past, remains honest and approachable, promising long-lasting enjoyment as the piece ages with use. (Please note that although this is a much earlier work, there are few signs of use.)\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san type)\u003cbr\u003e\nDia. 6.8cm x Dia. 6.7cm x H 6.0cm\n\nMichiaki Kaneshige (1934–1995) was born in Imbe as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Toyo Kaneshige.
