Description
A freshly fired Bizen Yohen Guinomi by Yoshiteru Takariki, who studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige. Kiln-out: September 2025.
True to Takariki’s bold, risk-embracing firing that draws out the clay’s expression, the exterior shows an ash-covered Yohen as dark as wet charcoal, with areas that gleam faintly silver. In the Kaneshige lineage, Hiiro generally pales toward white the harder it is fired; here, however, a few zones reached the perfect moment—achieving strong firing while retaining a saturated Hiiro.
Inside, the ink-black of the ash-covered fire pattern and the clay’s Hiiro vie with one another, joined by a small round open area like a full moon reflected on water—an exquisite scene. The piece combines a powerful double foot with paired Higaki-mon; the richness of the clay character gently subsumes the assertive design, resulting in a well-balanced work.
