Thank you for viewing. This is a set of 4 small plates of "Yachimun," a traditional Okinawan pottery. Features: Characterized by a vibrant blue (cobalt blue) glaze reminiscent of the Okinawan sea, and embossed plant and geometric patterns. Uses: As side plates. They are often used not only for small dishes, sweets, and pickles, but also as trays for temporarily placing small accessories such as rings and earrings. Charm: Each piece is handmade by artisans, giving it the value of being a "one-of-a-kind" item with subtle variations in shape and pattern. Material: Ceramic/Pottery Size 4 flower-shaped plates Approximately 9-10 cm We also have other items from the same series listed. Discounts are available for combined purchases. Thank you for your consideration. "Yomitan-yaki Kitagama Yachimun" Kitagama, located in the Yachimun no Sato village in Yomitan, Okinawa, is known as a leading kiln for Okinawan pottery "Yachimun." It was founded in 1992 by four master potters: Kyoji Matsuda, Yoneji Matsuda, Masayoshi Miyagi, and Masamori Yonahara, who jointly operate the largest 13-chamber climbing kiln in Okinawa Prefecture. A climbing kiln is a type of kiln built with firing chambers utilizing a stepped slope. Fire is lit at the front, and the kiln is fired from bottom to top. The "Kitagama" kiln is fired several times a year, and the pots are fired for four days, with artisans taking turns to tend the fire day and night. The resulting pottery is simple and warm. Miyagi's pieces are heavy and primitive, while Kyoji's pieces have a gentle and soft painting style that seems to reflect his personality. Yonahara's work, on the other hand, has a sophisticated and urban feel, differing slightly from the other two. It's no wonder that Kitagama's pottery, with its diverse and wonderful individual characteristics, has so many fans. I myself am one of those fans. Even with the same painting, each piece is subtly different, and some have distortions due to the kiln's fire. However, when you hold them, they all feel endearing and possess a strength that makes you feel, "Ah, a person made this." They go well with any Japanese or Western dish, enhancing the food and adding a touch of elegance to the dining table. I have selected "Kitagama Yachimun" pieces that are exciting just to look at.
