Yuho Kaneshige - Kuro Korai Chawan
440,000 YENSold out
size : W11.7cm×11.7cm×H8.8cmYuho Kaneshige is the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He inherited his family’s home and kiln in Inbe from his father.
For many years, he produced traditional works in the classic Kaneshige style.
However, around 2018, he embarked on a new artistic journey.
He dismantled the inherited kiln and built a more primitive one of his own.
This Guinomi was fired in May 2025.
Yuhou refers to the color of this piece as “Tengen no Kuro,” a black reminiscent of a black hole or the cosmos itself.
This poetic expression perfectly captures the complex yet captivating glaze, where a deep, inky black—like finely ground sumi ink—is interspersed with shimmering golden flecks.
These are not actually metallic particles, but rather the result of the glaze contracting and becoming semi-transparent during firing.
Inside the Chawan, this contraction is even more dramatic, creating the illusion that real gold has melted beneath the glaze.
Within this majestic landscape of black and gold, the vibrant green of matcha stands out beautifully.
As the tea is finished, a faint trace of green remains on the surface—like life blooming in the vastness of space.
The bowl’s form also reflects the full extent of Yuhou’s technical mastery.
It has a substantial weight, but it does not feel burdensome. Rather, it offers a sense of unity with the user—an experience of harmony between hand and vessel.
