Bizen ware plate

This Bizen plate is a creation of Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who inherits the legacy of the master potters Rokuro and Shin Nakamura to produce pieces of profound character. Featuring a rustic form with a stony texture, it showcases the beautiful scarlet clay aesthetic characteristic of Kazuki’s work, resulting in a simple piece that nonetheless contains an infinite landscape of expression. The bold, dark sangiri (kiln-fired patterns) provides a magnificent accent to the scarlet clay, making the plate so exquisite that one instinctively wants to use it as a vessel for sake. The subdued, elegant scarlet tone does not overpower, but rather enhances the food and harmonizes beautifully with the entire dining table. Paper box
