About the Artist
Ohara Koichi is a master potter based in Tokoname, Japan.
Drawing the inspiration from raw textures in the nature, he mixes various local soils and materials to make the clay, glaze and slip, which often contain grit.
The utility ware Ohara creates have a distinctive texture like aged patina.
Some pieces remind us of the washed surface of rocks, some others of artefacts excavated from the bottom of the sea. Each piece is one of a kind.
Ohara has exhibited internationally. His tea ware and Sake ware are especially popular and sought after.
Before becoming a ceramic artist, Ohara studied physics at Meisei University. Later he learned from the ceramic heritage in Korea and Thailand as well as from Tokoname in Japan, a renowned base for the ceramic industry and often referred to as “the Tea Pottery".
In his 20 years in Tokoname, Ohara designed three wood-burning kilns (Anagama), as well as firing his works in a communal kiln.
Ohara has embraced crossover projects and participated in contemporary art exhibitions by Theaster Gates (USA) and Camille Henrot (France).
