This is a "Mishima-de 5-sun plate" by Akemi Ito, a ceramic artist working in Tagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The overall texture has a glossy feel, and combined with the elaborate Mishima patterns, it creates a modern atmosphere. Ito's high technical skill has been cultivated through a strong desire to explore ancient ceramics and by immersing herself in authentic works that have been passed down since ancient times. This is a sincere "Mishima-de" vessel that allows you to feel Ito's unique design, reflecting her deep knowledge of antique ceramics. The plate has a plain and beautiful form, typical of Ito's style, and the moderate ash-covered surface and the treatment of the foot, resulting from wood-fired kiln firing, create a deep and flavorful landscape on the vessel's surface. Ito herself collects the materials for the clay and glaze, makes the clay and glaze, and creates vessels without compromise, taking old Karatsu and ancient Korean ceramics as models. Purchased at Ito's solo exhibition at the craft gallery "Ryoichi Seki" in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, this is a new, unused item stored at home. Size: Diameter 14.6cm x Height (depth) 2.8cm. There are no cracks or chips from the beginning, but please understand that there is a unique flavor characteristic of Ito's vessels.
