Futura Oribe was one of the most influential tea masters in Japan. He introduced a feeling of modernism through his approach to ceramics, compared to the relative austereness dominant at the time. His use of unusual and organic shapes, and boldy colored glazes and designs was such a departure that it was influential far beyond just the ceramic and tea ceremony circles.
