{"product_id":"p3955","title":"Ibe Guinomi","description":"This is an Imbe sake cup by the renowned master Sozan Kaneshige, widely celebrated as an \"uncrowned king.\" Fired at the front of the kiln, this piece is covered in a smooth layer of *goma* (ash glaze), creating a lustrous and captivating aesthetic. The bright brown clay body is expertly fired, giving the surface the appearance of melted chocolate. A sharp spatula has been used to carve a single, straight line around the body, capturing the dynamic sense of rhythmic fluidity characteristic of Sozan’s work. The wide foot is equally bold; it adds a torrent-like accent to the calm, mountain-like form, unfolding a one-of-a-kind \"Sozan world.\"\n\nBox identified by Yuho (Shiho-san box) \u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 6.5cm × Diameter 6.5cm × Height 6.8cm\n\nSozan Kaneshige (1909–1995) was the younger brother of Living National Treasure Toyo Kaneshige, with whom he worked until around 1951. Known for his mastery of Momoyama-style *hidasuki* (fire-cord) techniques, he was regarded as a leading figure in tea ceramics. In 1964, he established the Maruyama Kiln in the eastern suburbs of Okayama City, and in 1966, he caused a sensation by introducing Momoyama-style *hidasuki* fired in an electric kiln. He moved to Imbe in 1982 to establish the Ushigami-shita Kiln, and in 1983, he was designated a Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Property holder. He received a Commissioner for Cultural Affairs Award, the Okayama Prefecture Cultural Award, and the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette. He passed away in 1995.","brand":"金重素山","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618558070881,"sku":"3955","price":200000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/3955.jpg?v=1790238444","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p3955","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
