Kaneshige Toyo

Kaneshige Toyo (金重 陶陽) (from Okayama, Japan 1896–1967) was a potter in Imbe, Japan.[1] He helped to establish the Japan Kōgei Association in 1955,[2][3][4] and was deemed a living national treasure in 1956 for his work in the Bizen style ceramics.[1] He was a member of what is known as the "Momoyama revival movement" of the 1930s and is credited with having rediscovered the techniques used to produce the wabi teawares of the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
