Oribe ware is the work Sakai Michikazu most passionately pursues at the moment. Within his meticulously crafted anagama (wood-fired kiln), the character of each piece changes dramatically depending on how the fire and ash interact with the surface. Some pieces display bright hues reminiscent of the changing seasons in the mountains, while others possess a deep coloration, evoking the clarity of a beautiful starlit sky.

Despite the unique atmosphere of each piece, they all share a cohesive, tranquil quality brought about by their matte texture—a hallmark of Sakai's vision for Oribe ware.

Enjoy this work alongside seasonal flowers, adding a touch of nature's beauty to your space.

• Each piece is handmade, and there may be slight variations in color, shape, and size from the photos. We hope you enjoy these differences as part of the unique character of each item.
