Born in 1942, Toyoba Seiya is an independent potter who strives to perfect his craft. He is known for Karatsu, Shino, and Kohiki, all of which present a pale or semi-translucent glaze with pale pink, grey, or ochre emerging from under white, subtle and quiet glaze types. He has a great sensibility for white glazes, understanding the visual variations that different glazes offers. He is one of the few potters to have received direct instruction from Arakawa Toyozo (1894-1985), the living national treasure famous for his Momoyama style tea wares. Toyoba built his own kiln in 1974 in Ogaya, having trained at the Suigetsugama kiln for 14 years.
Originating in the Korean Yi Dynasty (1392-1910), Kohiki is a glaze type that was the result of transmissions of ceramic techniques from the Korean peninsula to the Japanese archipelago. Kohiki consists of iron laden clay, along with a transparent glaze over white slip. It is an interpretation of the Korean Joseon style Buncheong ware.
This Kohiki flower vase presents a gorgeous white drip with two circular markings showing the classic, Kohiki grey.
