When sharing with friends sake does not need to be quaffed down in big guinomi, but is quite often better when shared with small cups, demanding that, in the Japanese tradition, the drinkers remain aware of their drinking partners cup and constantly re-fill it for each other. This si a beautiful small bowl by Ohmae Satoru enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Onigashima Gosho-maru Hai. It is 6 cm (2-1/2 inches) diameter, 4 cm (1-1/2 inches) tall and is in perfect condition, directly from the artist this summer.
Ohmae Satoru was born in Osaka in 1972. He began decorating Kenzan style pottery in Kobe in 1991 with his brother. It was in 1994 he began making Nanban style unglazed pottery. His first solo exhibition was held in Osaka in 1999, and he moved to Shigaraki in 2001 where he began working on Iga and Shigaraki style wood-fired pottery and at the same time began holding solo exhibitions nationwide. He built a fully underground anagama kiln in 2003 but became interested in glazed pottery in 2005 and began creating white porcelain and Karatsu ware. In 2007, he was attracted to Korean pottery from the Joseon Dynasty and started experimenting with Ido tea bowls and persimmon calyx tea bowls using anagama kiln firing techniques. After absorbing many styles, he reached a turning point in 2010, when he moved to Awaji Island and built a semi-underground anagama kiln and a raku kiln. He started making black raku ware. In 2016, he began using clay from Awaji Island to make white raku ware.
