This Oribe-yaki matcha bowl was crafted by Kōzō Kato (born 1935) in Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture.
Oribe ware originated in the Momoyama period (circa 1605) and is primarily produced in the Mino region. It is known for its bold, innovative designs, breaking away from the structured aesthetics of traditional tea utensils. Oribe ceramics often feature distorted shapes and striking patterns, such as checkerboards and geometric motifs. The most distinctive characteristic of Oribe-yaki is its deep, dark green glaze, which sets it apart from other styles.
Kōzō Kato is also recognized as a Living National Treasure for his mastery of Setoguro, a traditional black-glazed pottery technique.
