Join us for an exclusive traditional Japanese tea ceremony, featuring vessels by the artist Ōhi Toshio at Onishi Gallery.
About Ōhi Toshio Ōhi Toshio (b. 1958) inherited an artistic tradition that dates back to 1666 when the first Ōhi ware potter began crafting ceramic works near Kanazawa for the tea ceremony. Toshio is the eleventh generation head of this historic family lineage. He shows the characteristically lustrous effects of Ōhi ware in bowls and other items for the tea ceremony and in a vast range of other works, both utilitarian and purely artistic.
A native of Kanazawa, Ōhi earned a master’s degree in fine arts from Boston University. While he learned new expressions of ceramics during his studies in the United States, he becomes more consciously aware of the unique beauty and character of Japanese pottery and the practice of the tea ceremony. In addition, the experiences as artist in residency, teaching and lecturing in the United States, Europe, China, South Korea and Taiwan enabled him to develop his own perspective and understanding of his family’s multi-generational heritage of Ōhi ware.
