Onogama (pottery)

小野窯元

A potter, Mr. Seiji Ono who has helped his father to produce potteries since childhood at Onogama says he didn’t have any doubt to go into producing potteries. His faith and stance that he will go forward with the history are consistent and never shifted. He uses traditional techniques called Tobikanna and Hakeme when he creates innovative original works as well as traditional ones. Moreover, in order to contribute to his hometown, Koishiwara, he obtained a qualification of traditional craftsman and devotes himself to instruct younger people. With a wish to convey the Koishiwara’s great point without being caught up in the tide of the times, he produces potteries and works for Koishiwara’s future and preservation of tradition as well.
