The Kyoto potter Morino Hiroaki is best known in the West for his one-man show at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1963, held while he was teaching at the University of Chicago in 1962-63. He studied with the Living National Treasure Tomimoto Kenkichi and several other distinguished potters at Kyoto Bijutsu Daigaku (Kyoto City Art University), completing the graduate course in 1960. Morino is well known on the international scene for his ceramic sculpture, but he also makes functional pieces, such as this, which are distinguished by the same balance of form, abstract decoration, and subtle sense of color that mark his sculpture.
