Description

Born in Imbe and a lifelong admirer of Bizen, Takashi Baba finds joy in both crafting and firing. This newest Oribe Yunomi was fired in June 2025 in a newly designed noborigama (climbing kiln), with an auspicious "leftward horse" (Hidari-uma) incised on the front.

Formed on a base of Shigaraki clay and finished with a vivid green Oribe glaze, it is a genuine Oribe work that reflects Baba’s keen pursuit of glaze research. Along the rim are traces of natural ash borne on the flame, and in the mikomi (interior base) the pooled Oribe has shifted under the ash’s influence toward an amber-like tone.

Though the rim is glazed, it has been finished thin, giving the piece versatile utility—enjoyable not only as a Yunomi but also as a beer mug or a rocks glass.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1983.
He graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2006.
Since 2007 he has been working as a ceramic artist in Bizen City.
