Description
Yuho Kaneshige is the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He inherited Inbe's house and kiln from his father.
He was presenting traditional Kaneshige style works.
But around 2018 he started a new challenge.
He demolished the kiln that he inherited from his father and made a more primitive kiln.
This Chawan was fired in May 2025.
This Chawan was made using clay that the artist personally unearthed in the Karatsu region around the mid-Heisei era. It represents the culmination of his work with glazed pottery.
The surface shows the true charm of Karatsu ware—rustic and powerful. The slightly sandy clay was quickly trimmed, creating a rough texture that stands in contrast to the more refined feel of Bizen ware.
Though the piece is simply glazed with ash glaze and no iron painting, it has a quiet elegance cultivated through the artist’s experience in making tea ceramics. The title "Karatsu Clay with Ash Glaze" reflects his free-spirited approach, unconstrained by tradition.
