[PLATE] PORCERIN (5.97 in.) Masaki Saito | AINU CRAFTS | CIKARPE AKAN

Enjoy the delicacy of Ainu wood carving work on this medium-sized Arita porcelain plate!

This Arita porcelain dish features a design by SAITO Masaki, a wood carver from Akanko Ainu Kotan.

Casting is a technique in which ceramic clay dissolved in water is poured into a plaster mold and molded.

After the design of the dish's pattern was created in wood carving, the mold was copied and fired at Yamaheigama, an Arita-yaki pottery kiln.

The beauty of the wood carving and the shading of the glaze make for a design that will never grow tired of its charm.

The 6-inch-diameter plate is the perfect size for serving main dishes or serving cakes and bread rolls, so it can be used widely at the daily table.

We have now prepared a set of two types of cast plates and two types of glazes, celadon and ame-glaze.
Recommended for those who love Japanese history and traditional crafts.
