Goro Suzuki has had a long career from his start as a production potter over forty years ago to his present status as a highly revered master of ceramic arts. His work is widely collected both in Japan and throughout the world. Suzuki Goro is noted for his work in the traditional Oribe style. Rather than sticking rigidly to making copies of old masters, however, Suzuki employs an element of freedom in his work, including humor and passion. His work has been further broadened by assimilating the styles of other cultures; a trip to Los Angeles in the late 1960’s inspired his “Los Angeles Oribe chairs” – large, whimsical and a bit wobbly.
