KANESHIGE KŌSUKE 金重晃介 (B.1943) Fuyū (Floating) Heisei era (1989-2019), 20th century A two-piece sculpture made of Bizen clay, the upper piece able to be placed in various positions, the base signed in Roman characters Kōsuke; with a signed and sealed tomobako (wood storage box) 18 3/4 x 13 1/4 x 8 3/4in (47.6 x 33.6 x 22.2cm) Footnotes: Like other potters of the generation that followed the 'rediscovery' of Bizen stoneware in the earlier twentieth century, Kaneshige Kōsuke has successfully struck out in new artistic directions. He uses a local clay that behaves more predictably during firing than the coarser traditional variety championed by other Bizen specialists.
