Description

He was born into a family of renowned Bizen potters.
From an early age, he learned the spirit of the Kanesige family and the art of preparing clay.
His recent works are mostly glazed pieces or those with very few fire patterns.
This yunomi has a green, melon-like "kasegoma" surface and beautiful purple fire patterns.
These are Kanesige fire patterns that are now rarely seen in his work.
There is a crack at the rim, but this was caused by the stone inside expanding due to heat.
Water leaks through the cracks, but the crack is high up, and the cup can still be used normally.
