A small story born from the encounter between clay and brush

The "Colored Horse Small Plate" was born from a collaboration between ceramic artist Natsumi Ishii and painter Aiko Kawamura. The plump, soft form is imbued with the gentle rhythm of Kawamura's painted horse.

The colorful painting spread over the white porcelain is striking with its soft, pale colors and lightly swaying lines.
His brushstrokes are imbued with Kawamura's characteristic gentleness and humor, and from any angle you can sense the presence of a tiny life form.

These small plates, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, can be used not only to hold sweets and condiments, but also as plates for accessories and incense.
Ishii-san's "quiet gentleness" in shaping the vessels and Kawamura-san's "elegant sensibility" in painting them.
The piece that was born from the overlap of these two worlds is like a small story that quietly appears in everyday life.

Profile of Natsumi Ishii

He is a potter in Kyoto City. He also works under the name "Ishiimoke" and creates unpretentious tableware for everyday use, focusing on Kohiki pottery. The color of the earth faintly peeks through from beneath the white glaze, giving the pottery its rustic and gentle appearance. Despite its simple shape, the balance of the rim lines and foot is playful, making it a vessel that looks strangely good no matter what is served inside. In addition, in collaboration with painter Kawamura Aiko, he adds patterns reminiscent of the world of antique art, giving the pottery a story-telling quality. His works are filled with a soft and familiar world that is imbued with the atmosphere of Kyoto.
