ONO, Jiro ONO, Jiro Kohakutogeisha

Profile

ONO, Jiro was born as the second son of the late ONO, Hakuko in 1953.
He studied the potter's wheel at Arita Ceramic Laboratory. He entered Kozan Kiln which his father established, and started making ceramics.
He decided to succeed the technique of Hakuko after she passed away by watching her making Kinrande, Yukinsai for a long time.
His arts were collected at the British Museum in 2001.
Kohakutogeisha was establised in 2002.
Urushi (laquer) is painted and thick gold foils are pasted before overglazing.
An unique expression comes to realize by continuing this process with patient and less pressure.
The pattern of gold foils which rises to the surface under the glaze is very mysterious.
The brilliant gold decoration and the gentle form make us feel the eternal beauty.
He passed away in 2010.
