Kanjo Omata

Kanjo Omata (小俣冠丞, b. 1998) is the youngest maker in UNEARTHED's Tokoname show — Taiwan-born, institute-trained, and a pupil of Yokei Mizuno — shaping kyusu and gongfu-style pouring vessels with a restless feel for clay and surface.

Tokoname

(Aichi Prefecture, Japan )

Tokoname-Yaki

Tokoname is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns and has been a center of ceramic production for over 900 years. Known especially for its red clay teapots, or kyūsu, Tokoname’s ceramics combine functionality with a deep respect for traditional forms. The iron-rich clay used here lends itself to minimalist, unglazed surfaces that are prized by tea drinkers for how they enhance the flavor of brewed tea. Many Tokoname potters are deeply involved with tea culture, and this is reflected in the precision and subtlety of their work.
