Onigawara Iemori Yoshitaka KatoYoshitaka Kato

Onigawara, which has a history of 1400 years, has protected Japanese houses and families since ancient times as an amulet and amulet. However, the number of houses where onigawara can be displayed on the roof is decreasing. Therefore, in order to match the modern architectural style, we created a product that realized the novel idea of ​​"Onigawara to decorate the room".

~ Onishi Yoshitaka Kato ~

A unique work with the motif of "Karasu Tengu" with a gentle expression that demons do not have. is. The "lotus flower" symbolically used in the Buddhist world is on the head. A lotus that grows in muddy water (sadness and suffering) and blooms beautiful large flowers is an auspicious thing that means "to make things successful."

Oni Shi

Pursuing originality

Yoshitaka Kato

History

After graduating from university, worked for a ceramic machinery manufacturer for 3 years and learned the basics of ceramics.

After that, he joined Maruichi Co., Ltd., which is a family business. Engaged in making onigawara and grilling tile products. Delivered works to famous temples and shrines such as Kyoto and Chion-in.

My philosophy

In search of the one and only demon face

How far can you combine your own world view without destroying the appearance of Onigawara, which has a history of 1400 years? The main theme is the pursuit of originality.

We are particular about the glossiness when placed on the roof, and there is no compromise in the precise finishing work. I want to create a demon mask that can only be created by myself, which can never be seen anywhere else. He is still pursuing that shape that no one has seen yet.

I want to expand the possibilities of Onigawara

Even if it is a demon, it is not like a demon.

Even if it is an onigawara, the demon is not always the motif.

Such free thinking is the charm of his work.

Originally just soil.

The process of transforming it into the contour and facial expression that you imagined is the "moment when you feel most excited."

Focus points

Tile culture to the world

I would like to enthusiastically work on the restoration of Japanese national treasures and important cultural properties.

He also talks about his future dreams, saying that he would like to focus on the production of interior works using roof tiles and the production of exterior products in order to spread the roof tile culture both domestically and internationally.

For Customers

There is a history in making family crest tiles

Gypsum type of family crest tile.

Not to mention the general family crests, but if you include the special crests used in temples and shrines, the number is actually over 3000, which is surprising.In addition to general roof tile production, it is said that there is a history of 30 to 40 years in family crest tile production.-
