admired for its graceful beauty

never competing with what is placed on it

deep in the shinogi grooves and thin over the ridges between

Japanese craft has shaped the way the world thinks about handmade objects

inspired by a passage in the Kokin Wakashū (Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese Poems):

Blue & White Fuyo Chrysanthemum Plate 21cm - Crafted By Kaji-ken Seiji Ceramic admired for its graceful beautyGlazed in a settled, layered blue, this plate holds its color differently in different light deepening where the glaze pools, lightening toward the rim. It is a surface that works with almost any food placed on it, without overpowering it. Kajiken Seiji works in Saga, Japan, forming and glazing each plate by hand. The rim is shaped individually, the surface finished with the table in mind a plate built to hold food well and to sit easily among others.
