This is a 5-inch deep dish (single firing) with a flowing glaze wave and fish design by Yoshihiro Kinjo, the third son of Toshio Kinjo, the eldest son of the late Jiro Kinjo, the only Living National Treasure in the Okinawan pottery world. The dish is made with a red clay body rich in iron, covered with white slip, and the wave and fish designs are carved into the surface while it's still partially dry. Then, it's glazed with gos (blue) and ame glaze and fired in a main kiln. This dish is a convenient size for individual servings or as a side dish. It's a rare item (yachimun) fired in a climbing kiln, and the shop owner personally went to the kiln to select this exquisite piece. It's a popular artist with a promising future, making it difficult to obtain. Okinawa souvenir folk art, Yomitan Tsuboya ware, yachimun, Jiro Kinjo's grandson, Toshio Kinjo's third son.

Made in Japan (Okinawa Prefecture) Product features: Handmade, new (new work) Because it is all handmade, there may be some slight distortions. Since it is fired in a climbing kiln, there may be ash attached, and due to the characteristics of earthenware, the surface of the vessel may be rough, or the slip may be uneven, but this is not a defect. Also, the cracks on the surface are called "nyu" (crazing) and are caused by the difference in the shrinkage ratio between the clay body and the glaze, and are not scratches. Note: We take great care in photography, but the color may appear different depending on your monitor.
