This versatile plate beautifully features the natural textures and hues of Shigaraki pottery. It's offered by Homeland, a brand dedicated to providing kitchen items that become cherished tools in everyday life, and crafted in collaboration with Hissan Pottery, a renowned Shigaraki ware kiln. The delicate variations of blue in aohagi—from the soft light of a clear sky to the deep navy of night—are subtly influenced by the thickness of the glaze and slight differences in temperature.
Measuring 28 cm (11 in), this plate is generously sized to serve as a main dish for a group. Ideally proportioned to take center stage at the table, it’s perfect for presenting roasts, sashimi, large salads, or desserts.
Recognized as an age-old pottery crafted at one of Japan’s six ancient kilns, Shigaraki ware boasts a history that spans over 1,300 years. Crafted in Shiga Prefecture, this plate reflects this rich heritage. The clay used, sourced from the ancient layers of Lake Biwa dating back 4 million years, is known for its exceptional quality.

About Shigaraki Ware
"Wabi-Sabi Japanese Pottery"
Shigaraki Ware is a ceramic ware made in the Shigaraki Town area of Shiga Prefecture in Japan, and is one of the “Rokkoyo” –the six oldest kilns in Japan. The warm scarlet color of the Shigaraki Ware is characterized by its thick, fire-resistant clay that has a firm texture, which has a high affinity with the color of plants, and is loved as flower vases and tea ware.
It is one of Japan's representative ceramic art forms where you can feel the natural form of the clay.
