About Ōno Gorōemon

Ōno Gorōemon was a Japanese sculptor and molding worker.

Ōno Gorōemon was a 13th-century Japanese sculptor. His exact date of birth and death are unknown.

Gorōemon was of the Kei school, which flourished in the Kamakura period. Aside from his artwork, Gorōemon left little record of his life.
