Traditional “Tobikanna” Craftsmanship Meets Modern Design. A Versatile Plate That Adds Elegance to Everyday Meals This rimmed plate combines the traditional “Tobikanna” technique with modern elements that blend seamlessly into contemporary lifestyles. Its calm matte texture and two-tone color scheme enhance any dish—from Japanese cuisine to Western and ethnic fare. ■ The perfect “22cm” you'll reach for daily Approximately 22.0cm in diameter, this versatile size is the most frequently used in any home. Ideal for pasta, curry, meat or fish main dishes, it's also perfect for breakfast platters or serving shared side dishes. ■ The raised rim design is perfect for dishes with sauces or liquids The slightly raised rim (approx. 2.5cm high) provides peace of mind when serving dishes like hamburgers with generous sauces, or simmered and stir-fried dishes with a bit of liquid. It also makes it easy to scoop up every last bit with a spoon, a welcome feature for everyday use. ■ Warmth and Rhythm from Handcrafted Work The “Hikanna” technique, where the blade tip is flicked to carve continuous patterns, imparts a warmth unique to artisan handwork. Enjoy the regular yet deeply expressive patterns and the beautiful two-tone color contrast. ■ Monitor settings may cause slight color differences between photos and actual product. ◇Product Details◇ ● Size: Diameter approx. 22.0cm × Height approx. 2.5cm ● Material: Koishiwara clay ● Specifications: Microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe ※ Not suitable for direct flame ● Pottery: Koishiwara ware ● Place of Production: Higashimine Village, Fukuoka Prefecture ● Maker: Okiyo Kiln Naoyuki Onimaru 1977 Born in Koishiwara Village (now Higashimine Village), Asakura District, Fukuoka Prefecture 1999 Entered Tokyo University of the Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Crafts 2003 Graduated from the same university, received the Ataka Prize 2005 Completed Master's Program in Ceramics, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts 　　　　 Graduation work: “Blue-White Porcelain Jar with Bamboo-Leaf Carved Pattern” 　　　　 Awarded the Salon de Printemps Prize 2005: Entered the Doctoral Program, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts 2008: Presented doctoral dissertation 　　　　 “Research on the Production of Blue-White Porcelain Utilizing Carved Patterns” 　　　　 Awarded Doctorate (Fine Arts) No. 218 2009: Began pottery production at Okiyo Kiln Selected for the Western Traditional Crafts Exhibition 2010: Selected for the Western Crafts Exhibition Selected for the West Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition First selection for the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition Special Jury Prize, Present Form Ceramics Hagi Grand Prize Exhibition 2010 Selected for the 4th Kikuchi Biennale 2011 Selected for the Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition Selected for the Western Crafts Exhibition Encouragement Award Selected for the Kyushu Yamaguchi Ceramics Exhibition Asahi Shimbun Award Selected for the 9th International Ceramics Festival Mino Bronze Award Selected for the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition 2012 Selected for the Western Traditional Crafts Exhibition Japan Crafts Association Award Selected for “Contemporary Tea Ceremony” (Kikuchi Satoshi Museum of Art) 　　　　 Work acquired by the Cernuschi Museum 　　　　 Grand Prize, West Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition 　　　　 Selected, Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition 　　　　 Blue-White Porcelain Faceted Bowl “Ryo” purchased by the Imperial Household Agency 　　　　 Selected, 5th Kikuchi Biennale 2013: Selected, Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition 　　　　 Selected, Kyushu Yamaguchi Ceramics Exhibition 　　　　 Finalist, Faenza International Ceramics Exhibition 　　　　 Asahi Culture Center Award, Western Traditional Crafts Exhibition 　　　　 Selected, Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition 　　　　 Runner-up Grand Prize, Hagi Grand Prize Exhibition 2013: Contemporary Ceramics 　　　　 Certified as Full Member, Japan Craft Association
