Product Description
Crafted by third-generation maker Marui Seito for the Hechimon collection, this versatile round plate features a flat design with an edged lip, beautifully contrasting natural, earthy glaze with an unglazed exterior. Perfect as a medium side plate for lunches, salads, or flatbreads, it elegantly embodies the 1,260-year heritage of Shigaraki-yaki—a designated traditional Japanese craft originating from one of Japan's six ancient kilns.
Shigaraki is located in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and is recognised as playing a significant part in the long history of Japanese ceramics. It is included as one of Japan's six old kilns – being said to have a history of 1260 years. In 1976 Shigaraki-yaki (Shigaraki ware) was designated as a traditional craft in Japan.
Also available in an olive glaze, and sizes small and large.

Hechimon is a collection of Japanese ceramics by a third-generation Shigaraki-yaki maker, Marui Seito. This name translates as “strange things” or “unusual things”. The ceramic collection embraces varying expressions from the vessels themselves. Like holding their own personalities due to materials used, kiln firings, and the craftsman hand. All of these processes and relationships slightly shift each piece – no two pieces will be identical in nature.
