The history of Ohi ware is inextricably entwined with one of Japan’s greatest traditions. When the Maeda clan invited the founder of the Urasenke-style tea ceremony to take the job of tea master in Kanzawa in 1666, he brought with him Ohi Chozaemon, who produced the finest tea ceremony pottery around.
