● Joun Kanaya Born in Takaoka City in 1933. Member of the Japan Kogei Association since 1958. For forty years since studying under Kankei Hannya, he has been engaged in the production of tea ceremony utensils, mainly Karagane (bronze) furo (braziers), at the Hannya Casting Workshop. He continues to do so to this day. Representative Works: Karagane Oni-men Furo (bronze brazier with demon mask design), Karagane Chōsen Furo (bronze Korean brazier), Karagane Ryukyu Furo (bronze Ryukyu brazier), Karagane Hōō Furo (bronze phoenix brazier), Karagane Kaigu (bronze tea ceremony set), Karagane Hanaire (bronze flower vase), etc. He is also skilled in making Tomomimi Furo (brazier with ear handles) and Nagazoku Furo (brazier with long legs), which are rarely made by craftsmen these days. I purchased this item new last month (38,000 yen), but I no longer have a use for it. If anyone would like to purchase it, please do.
