Oribe ware is a type of Mino ware and usually glazed in Strong Olive Green and Deep Olive Green. It was developed by Lord Furuta Oribe, a pupil of Sen no Rikyu.
Sasaki Yasoji (1926) born in Toki-city, Gifu where is the part of Mino province.
Gifu prefecture is well known as good ceramics.
Oribe ware was started in Toki-ciy.
He started Zuikou Kiln in 1967 and Kanzan Kiln in 1974.
He is one of very famous Oribe artist and the great ceramic artist in Showa period.
This Katatsuki Chaire is called Red Oribe with nice shape and beautiful oribe painting.
It is less used in excellent vintage condition consistent with age with original shifuku and original paulownia box.
We got it from our relative. She used the chaire few times.
Therefore we asked our tea utensils shop to change the back of chaire lid to 24karat gold.
We rarely seen his chaire on the market. It is pretty rare item.
The shifuku is used “Rikyu Donsu” with dark oribe color.
It is perfect match.
