織部
織部 (Oribe) is a style of Japanese pottery that emerged during the late 16th century, particularly associated with the tea ceremony. It is named after the famous potter 織部正雪 (Oribe Masayuki), who was known for his innovative techniques and distinctive designs. Oribe ware is characterized by its vibrant glazes, asymmetrical shapes, and often features motifs inspired by nature.
The style is notable for its use of green and brown glazes, along with unique surface textures. 茶道 (Sadō), or the Japanese tea ceremony, often incorporates Oribe pottery, as its aesthetic complements the principles of simplicity and natural beauty. Oribe remains influential in contemporary Japanese ceramics.
