ohi pottery
As the 10th generation Ohi Chozaemon, he inherited the Ohi ware family business, which was a traditional method of producing tea pottery from the feudal government period. On the side, he presented and displayed works that had adopted a modern feel in exhibitions, mainly the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition. He continued to be chosen for prizes and receive awards, becoming active as a central artisan in the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition.
He uses the name, “10th Generation Ohi Chozaemon” for his traditional Ohi ware works. However, he uses the name he had before his succession as it is, “Ohi Toshiro,” on works such as the ones he displays in the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition and other related works, using the two names apart from each other.
