{"product_id":"p3632","title":"Hidasuki Beer Drinker","description":"This is a new Bizen beer tumbler by Makoto Kaneshige, who inherited the Maruyama Kiln as the eldest son of Sozan Kaneshige and captivates many with his harmony of delicate, elegant clay texture and powerful form. It is crafted in accordance with the essence of Kaneshige Bizen—the philosophy of avoiding excessive ornamentation and bringing the clay to life—and the minimal lozenge-shaped form of the rim harmonizes with the whole, presenting a magnificent silhouette. The exposed clay surface, lightly seasoned with sand grains, allows you to enjoy the finish of the beer and the aroma of the malt, while also letting you slowly admire the lively clay work with your entire palm, providing visual delight through its surface, which is moistened by the chill and the beer. The *hidasuki* (fire-cord) patterning, which allows for no deception, is also beautifully fired, creating a stunning contrast in both color and texture. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2015\/07\/new-makoto001.html\"\u003eView blog post for this beer tumbler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box (double-battened)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.3cm x Diameter 7.3cm x Height 12.5cm\n\nMakoto Kaneshige is the eldest son of the Intangible Cultural Property holder Sozan Kaneshige. He entered the path of ceramics under his father in 1969 after graduating from the Faculty of Agriculture at Kyoto University. He became independent in 1979. Working primarily with wheel-thrown tea ceramics, his work is characterized by deep, rich firing. He strives to eliminate decoration as much as possible, focusing on pouring his own soul directly into the clay. He rarely enters public exhibitions, preferring to focus his energy on solo exhibitions, which he holds actively every year at department stores in cities including Okayama, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto. He also held a solo exhibition in Munich, Germany, in 1995, and his work was featured in the Bizen Ware Paris Exhibition in 1997.","brand":"金重 愫","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618542932065,"sku":"3632","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3632.jpg?v=1790238018","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p3632","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
