| Kanewaka is the most famous lineage among Kashu Shinto. The first Jinroku Kanewaka moved from Inuyama in Bishu/Owari Province to Kanazawa in Kaga Province during the Keicho era, early Edo Period establishing the Kanewaka lineage and later becoming a highly praised master craftsman known as Kaga Masamune. Judging from the inscription, this work was made by Shiroemon, the eldest son of the second Matasuke Kanewaka, who took over the name of Kanewaka as the third generation upon his father's death in 1677, the 5th year of Empo. The features of his works resemble that of the first and second generations. Additionally, many of his works are also gorgeous, with Tama-yaki and Choji pattern as well as Hako-midare. This work is an excellent example of the characteristics of the third generation, Shiroemon Kanewaka. Passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token Shinsa in 2024. |
