Features of this piece
A tall Oribe (織部) hanaire (花入)—a slender neck rising from a full, cylindrical body, glazed in the deep, lustrous green for which Oribe is loved. Ribbed and gently uneven, the rough surface catches the light and passes a sense of natural warmth to the fingertips. Set a single stem within and the piece feels complete, like one flower blooming in a meadow or forest.

Deep green that catches the eye
Son’s Oribe pieces are blended with the rare Mogusa (百草) clay. Oribe, with its vivid colors, allows you to feel the texture of the Mogusa clay underneath. It is said that Oribe ware was created by the warrior tea master Furuta Oribe, a disciple of Sen no Rikyū. Oribe ware is known for its deep dark green color, which captivated people of the time with its rich hue. The beauty of the glaze and the texture of the clay underneath can both be appreciated, offering a tactile and visual experience. Son’s works capture and express the beautiful nature of Japan as an inner landscape, creating pieces that enrich the heart even amidst a busy life.

Oribe pairs exceptionally well with flower arrangements, completing the piece and evoking the image of a single flower blooming in a meadow or forest. Son’s works capture and express the beautiful nature of Japan as an inner landscape, creating pieces that enrich the heart even amidst a busy life.
