Born in Tokyo in 1960. Currently based in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, he continues to create using techniques such as powdery glaze and brush strokes, while harnessing the strength of clay rich in iron. The vessels fired in a wood kiln possess a certain presence within their tranquility, bringing depth and tension not only to the plants but also to the space they occupy. This piece is a plant pot with a black ground and brush strokes, created by swiftly applying white slip with a brush onto a clay body shaped from black soil. The dynamic traces of the brush carve a strong rhythm into the surface of the vessel, presenting a unique appearance that has no two pieces alike. This is a one-of-a-kind piece specially made for Rurbanism, and since Atsushi Ogata's plant pots rarely appear on the market, it can be considered a highly rare work.
