Thank you for viewing. This is a 9-inch plate from Koji Sakamoto Kiln, Onta-yaki pottery. It's a beautiful item, used only a few times. Onta-yaki is a folk pottery designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, with a history of over 300 years in a mountain village in Hita City, Oita Prefecture. It is characterized by traditional techniques such as tobi-kanna (flying plane), hakeme (brush marks), kushigaki (comb scratching), and nagashikake (glaze pouring), creating simple and warm vessels that utilize human craftsmanship and the power of nature. Without using machines, the techniques are passed down from parent to child, through a single-inheritance system. Onta-yaki was praised as "the world's best folk pottery" by Soetsu Yanagi, the founder of the Mingei movement. This 9-inch plate has a moderate depth, allowing for generous servings and a strong presence. I hope it will find its way into the hands of someone who appreciates it. Diameter: Approximately 27cm Height: Approximately 6.5cm Notes: ・Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing.
