Momoko Otani was born into a family of potters. She currently runs "Otani Seisakujo" with her husband, Tetsuya Otani, also a potter. They reside, with their three cats, in their home nestled in the mountains of Shigaraki.
Momoko's works are made of local clay, which is high in iron content, treated with slip, and she uses unique techniques, such as hand-painting and sgraffito. Her botanical patterns, such as lotus patterns and banana leaves, were inspired by her days in Indonesia, where she studied abroad while a student at Oregon State University.
Sgraffito is derived from the Italian word “scratch”. It is a technique of applying layers of slip onto a ceramic form and, while semi-dry, removing and etching certain areas to create a contrasting surface design. Momoko’s works are inspired by her love of lotuses and banana leaves. Her white sgraffito series display lotus buds and petals in bloom. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, featuring unique variations.
