Taeko Kajiwara Black Kohiki Square Plate with Rim 13.5cm

Ms. Kajiwara, who makes pottery in Saga City, Saga Prefecture, shapes her vessels without using a potter's wheel, instead employing slab building and hand-building techniques.

The forms created this way have unique contours while exuding a soft, gentle atmosphere.

The "kohiki" technique, which involves patting slip onto the surface of the vessel, highlights the texture of the clay itself, creating a quiet yet powerful expression.

She also creates pieces with subdued glazes, whose charm lies in their simple yet profound beauty.
They are microwave and dishwasher safe, making them ideal for everyday use.
