Oribe Ware
|
an extreme example of Oribe unevenness |
Furuta Oribe (1544-1615) wasn't a potter at all, he was a tea master, a pupil of the great Sen no Rikyu. Like Rikyu, he had a huge influence on ceramic fashions, and a style took his name. He favoured energetic, uneven, asymmetric designs, in the pot and its colouring, and had a huge effect on major strands of Seto/Mino ware.
