Description
The eldest son of Toyo Kaneshige, Michiaki created this Ibe Guinomi with no special ornament at all—only clay color and Sangiri.
Yet even from a distance it bears that unmistakable presence that says “Michiaki” at a glance.
Meticulous clay preparation yields a superb surface: a softly scarlet-tinged clay color forms the base, over which a slightly matte Sangiri settles, creating a skin that becomes more lustrous the more it is used.
Inside, inky black Sangiri spreads across the bottom like splashed ink, setting a painterly contrast against the brighter scarlet clay color of the walls.
Taciturn as the artist himself, the cup is nevertheless filled with his quiet, disciplined aesthetics.
