Atsushi Ogata Black Ground Brushstroke Planter

Diameter (φ) 115mm × Height (h) 70mm Mouth Diameter 100mm

This is a planter created by contemporary ceramic artist Atsushi Ogata, featuring a black ground brushstroke design.

Born in Tokyo in 1960. He is currently based in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, where he continues to create using techniques such as "karatsu" and brushstroke, while harnessing the strength of raw clay rich in iron content. The vessels fired in a wood kiln possess a certain presence within their tranquility, bringing depth and tension not only to the plants but also to the space they occupy.

This piece is a black ground brushstroke planter created by swiftly applying white slip with a brush onto a base formed from black clay. The dynamic traces of the brush carve a strong rhythm into the surface of the vessel, showcasing a unique presence with no two pieces sharing the same expression.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece specially made for Rurbanism, and since Atsushi Ogata's planter works rarely circulate in the market, it can be considered a highly rare work.

The quiet vitality possessed by Atsushi Ogata's brushstroke vessels.

Enjoy it as a small art piece that fits in the palm of your hand, living alongside your plants.
