Koishiwara Ware, Okiyo Kiln, Flying Plane, Rimmed Plate, 22.0cm, Square Edges, M

A modern plate with a commanding presence that takes center stage at the table. Bold “Yomogake” and intricate “Tobikanna” techniques weave together. This rimmed plate beautifully harmonizes the proven craftsmanship of Koishiwara-yaki's Okiyo Kiln with contemporary sensibility. A serene matte gray base is adorned with a cross-shaped white glaze application known as “Yomogake.” The intricate patterns of the traditional “Tobikanna” technique and the bold white contrast beautifully elevate any dish, from Japanese to Western cuisine, making it look like art. ■ The perfect “22cm” you'll want to use daily Measuring approximately 22.0cm in diameter, this versatile size is the most frequently used in any home. Ideal for pasta, omelet rice, meat or fish main courses, it also perfectly frames appetizer platters utilizing negative space or serves as a breakfast one-plate dish. ■ The “Raised Rim” Design Welcomes Saucy Dishes The slightly raised rim (approx. 2.5cm high) provides peace of mind for hamburgers drenched in sauce or simmered/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. ■ The beauty of handcrafted work, flawless on both sides The “Hikanna” technique involves carving continuous patterns by bouncing the blade tip. This plate features intricate patterns carved not only on the surface but also on the underside. Please enjoy the warmth of the hand-carved Hikanna patterns and the unique layered glaze finish, where each piece has its own distinct character, at your daily table. ■ 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: Oumei 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
