Description
This is a new Beni guinomi by Tomoyuki Oiwa, who studied ceramic technique under Ryuichi Kakurezaki and continues his research and practice in Kamigori, Hyogo Prefecture.
It is his latest work, freshly unloaded from the kiln in October 2025, Reiwa 7.
This piece forms a counterpart to his representative “Kuro” series. A specially prepared clay slip was applied and fired to achieve a subdued, not overly bright salmon-pink tone.
While the overall color remains a calm salmon pink, areas where natural ash glaze landed have developed brighter brownish fire effects.
The gradation from Shiro-Goma, through warm brown, and into salmon pink is especially captivating, and it evokes an atmosphere reminiscent of Hon’ami Koetsu’s white Raku tea bowl Fujisan.
Oiwa’s teacher, Kakurezaki, has long explored the potential of various clays, and this work can likewise be seen as one possibility, realized through Oiwa’s own unique methods, for expanding how clay itself can be utilized and expressed.
The form is also compelling: Oiwa has absorbed the three-legged design associated with his teacher and reinterpreted it in his own way. From the foot to the rim, the piece is filled with Oiwa’s meticulous attention to detail.
He was born in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture in 1977.
He became a disciple of Ryuichi Kakurezaki in 2005.
He became independent as a ceramic artist in 2016.
