Basic Specifications

Craftsman: Sota Ohara / Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture
Material: Clay
Size: Approx. φ220 × H20 mm
This is a handmade piece by the artist. Please note that there may be individual differences.

Notes

These pieces are handcrafted one by one, valuing the unique texture of earthenware. No two pieces are alike in their colors, patterns created by carbonization firing, or the expression of their glazes. Please enjoy the varying scenery of each piece as its individual character.
*Kannyu (fine lines visible on the surface) is a natural characteristic created by the firing and glaze properties. It is not a defect, so please use with peace of mind.

Handling Precautions

・When using for the first time, always wash with water or lukewarm water.
・Seasoning the product will make it more resistant to food stains.
・After use, promptly remove any dirt and dry thoroughly before storing.
・When stacking, placing a sheet of thin paper between items will prevent scratches.
・Avoid using abrasive cleaners, cleansers containing abrasives, scourers, or scrubbing vigorously, as this may scratch the surface. Instead, wash with a soft sponge.

Though made of clay, they resemble stone.

That was the sensation I felt when I first saw Sota Ohara's work.

A faint blue bleeding into pale gray.
Subtle traces left by charcoal.
And fine, spreading crazing.

Examining each piece closely, they reveal distinct expressions, conveying a quiet depth.

These unique expressions are born from Ohara's craftsmanship, a process of diligent handwork as he confronts the clay and fire.

 

Expressions unknown until the kiln opens

A significant element that distinguishes Ohara's work is the "carbonization firing" process.

After bisque and main firing, the vessels are placed in a "sagger" with rice husks for a third firing.

"For this part, you really don't know until you open the kiln."

Despite repeated trial and error with clay, glazes, and firing methods, the final expression that emerges is left to nature.

A landscape born beyond what was imagined.
The fact that no two pieces are exactly alike is also a unique charm of Ohara's work.
