A warm white colored Kohiki plate by Koichi Furuya, president of Furuya Seitosho.
The "Kohiki Iron Scattering 5-inch Plate A" by Koichi Furuya, representative of Furuya Seitosho, is a Kohiki plate that combines the traditions of Shigaraki ware with unique techniques.
It combines the "Kohiki" technique, which involves applying white decorative clay to a unique red clay, with the "Tetsusan" technique, which brings out the iron when fired. As a result, a unique landscape is created in which iron is dotted across a warm white color, giving it a simple yet profound look.
The design is simple, but the edges are gently raised, beautifully highlighting the food. The size is about 16cm in diameter, and it can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as side dishes, desserts, and serving plates.
