Description

Koji Nakahara is a potter who works in two locations, Osaka and Bizen.
He is commissioned to create bespoke tableware for a famous restaurant in Osaka.
In Bizen, he studies Bizen ware under his mentor, Fumio Kawabata.
This is a unique small plate designed specifically to hold a single Taiyaki, a traditional Japanese fish-shaped pastry.
The finely carved design of the Taiyaki on the plate closely resembles the metal mold used to bake the actual pastry—it almost looks as if pouring batter into it would yield a real Taiyaki.
The simple Hidasuki decoration adds a clean, gentle touch, with its soft red hues perfectly complementing the Taiyaki motif.

He was born in Osaka Prefecture in 1978.
He has been a disciple of Fumio Kawabata since 2001.
