At the foot of Mount Horai, just a short distance from Lake Biwa, Shiro Shimizu has established his kiln.

Guided by his philosophy of “never buying clay, but digging it myself,” Shimizu-san creates everything from tea ceremony wares to sculptural objects, allowing the character of the earth itself to guide the work. We are deeply drawn to the powerful, distinctive expressions that emerge from this intimate relationship with the soil.

This square plate, with its substantial form as though carved directly from the earth, commands a distinctive presence that can serve as an anchor for a space.

In addition to beautifully presenting and enhancing food, it can also be used as a display board for treasured objects or decorative pieces, offering endless possibilities for creating a considered setting.

*Due to the handcrafted nature of these pieces, there may be individual variations in size, shape, glaze application, and color.
