Michikazu Sakai / Oribe Plant Pot C

Diameter (φ) 115mm × Height (h) 90mm Opening diameter 100~105mm

This is a beautiful flower pot with Oribe glaze by contemporary ceramic artist Michikazu Sakai.

The deep green glaze of Oribe ware is impressive, characterized by a rich range of colors created by a uniquely blended Oribe glaze and the natural expressions that emerge through firing.

This flower pot, made with Oribe glaze and mimosa ash glaze, is a valuable piece specially created by Sakai for Rurbanism. Since his flower pot works are rarely exhibited in solo shows and have very few opportunities to appear on the market, they can be considered extremely rare pieces.

At Rurbanism, we will continue to introduce a variety of works, including flower pots by Michikazu Sakai.

Michikazu Sakai

Born in 1975 in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture. He studied under Bizen ware artist Satoru Masamune and built a climbing kiln in his hometown in 1997. He is currently based in Kagawa Prefecture, continuing his pottery work.

The works born from the wood-fired kiln show a variety of expressions, using unique glazes such as Oribe, white clay, and mimosa ash. The flower vases reflect the power of earth and fire, giving depth and a quiet presence to the space when flowers are arranged in them.

The flower vases, imbued with the blessings of nature, add a soft warmth to daily life and gently enrich the hearts of those who spend their days with flowers.
