A vessel that lets you feel the breath of the earth and the white space.

Nukaga Maruya's "Kohiki Square Plate" is a piece that expresses the quiet beauty that resides between the clay and the glaze .
The elegant shape of the square plate is combined with the soft white color of the powdered pottery, giving it a serene presence that seems to embrace the passage of time.

The glaze, which shows a different expression for each piece, creates a texture reminiscent of winter frost or old paper , giving the pieces a tranquil yet warm feeling.

When you place sweets on it, the soft white space is highlighted, and when you serve food on it, the color of the ingredients is gently enveloped.
This dish harmonizes with both Japanese and Western styles and will be a gentle addition to your daily dining table.

The more you use it, the more the clay's appearance deepens, and the color that seeps into the crazing adds to the flavor.
Enjoy the charm of Kohiki pottery that develops over time through the tranquil designs of Nukaga Maruya.
