Once upon a time, in a quiet town, there was a boy who loved money more than anything. His name was Kanegon — well, he was still human then. One day, he found a strange little bag filled with coins. When he opened it, a bright light flashed— and his body began to change! His face turned into a coin slot, his skin became brown and rough, and he could no longer speak like a human. He had turned into Kanegon, a creature who must eat money to stay alive. On his chest was a small meter— if it ever showed “zero,” Kanegon would disappear. He wandered through the town, watching people earn, spend, and lose their money. Little by little, he began to understand: money is important, but it isn’t everything. When his heart finally softened, the light of kindness returned— and Kanegon slowly changed back into a boy. --- Some say that even now, Kanegon still munches on coins somewhere, smiling and asking, “Have you found something worth more than money?”

Oribe ware is a style of Japanese pottery that originated in the Mino province (modern Gifu Prefecture) during the late Momoyama Period (late 16th to early 17th century). ​Patron: Named after Furuta Oribe, a high-ranking samurai and disciple of tea master Sen no Rikyū. Oribe's bold and unconventional taste strongly influenced the style. ​Key Aesthetics (Revolutionary): It broke away from the subdued aesthetics of previous tea ceramics (like Raku and early Shino). ​Asymmetry: Pieces are often deliberately distorted, irregular, or warped (e.g., kutsugata - "shoe-shaped" bowls). ​Bold Decoration: Characterized by vibrant colors and playful, abstract designs. ​Signature Features: ​Green Glaze: The most recognizable feature is a brilliant, translucent copper-green glaze (Oribe glaze) often applied freely or partially. ​Iron Decoration: Abstract or stylized motifs (geometric, natural scenes) drawn in iron oxide slip on the white or buff clay body. ​Main Types: Common styles include Green Oribe (Ao-Oribe), Black Oribe (Oribe-Kuro), and Total Oribe (Sō-Oribe - entirely covered in green glaze). ​Oribe ware is celebrated for its individualism and modernistic flair, symbolizing the expressive cultural mood of the Momoyama period.
