Oribe ware is the work Sakai Michikazu most passionately pursues at the moment. Within his meticulously crafted anagama (wood-fired kiln), the character of each piece changes dramatically depending on how the fire and ash interact with the surface. Some pieces display bright hues reminiscent of the changing seasons in the mountains, while others possess a deep coloration, evoking the clarity of a beautiful starlit sky.

Despite the unique atmosphere of each piece, they all share a cohesive, tranquil quality brought about by their matte texture—a hallmark of Sakai's vision for Oribe ware.

This plate is perfect for serving salads or side dishes and can also be used as generously sized individual plates.

• Each piece is handmade, and there may be slight variations in color, shape, and size from the photos. We hope you enjoy these differences as part of the unique character of each item.
• It is not strictly necessary to seal the surface, but please rinse with water before use.
• When serving hot food, it is recommended to soak the cup with warm water beforehand. Similarly, for cold food, soak it thoroughly with cold water before use.

This piece is also sold in our physical store. We will check stock availability after you place your order, and in case of a stock shortage, we will notify you via email. Thank you for your understanding.
