Chawan / Mishima / Kaneda Shikao
Mishima Chawan by Kaneda Shikao
Here is a ko-buri small-sized chawan by Mishima specialist Kaneda Shikao(1938-). Kaneda studied under LNT Matsui Kosei before establishing his own kiln in 1968. Kaneda's mishima is very feathery and has his own personality and at once is recognizable--that is after seeing all mishima potters in Japan, which I shall add are very few. Kaneda has and continues to have a successful career, exhibiting in major galleries, such as Kuroda Toen in Tokyo. In perfect condition with a signed box, 6.5cm. and 13.2cm.wide, stamped on base, from a private Tokyo collection.
