Description

This sea bream-shaped side plate is from the Moist series by Hataman Touen of Imari Nabeshima Ware.

Sea bream, known as tai in Japanese, has often been served at celebratory occasions for generations. It holds a special significance in Japanese culture as the name tai is included in the word medetai which translates to "joy" or "auspiciousness" in English.

The graceful matte celadon texture conveys tenderness the moment you touch it. The moist and gentle surface finish employs a technique unique to this kiln.

The sea bream is delicately engraved with a strong and weak pattern, and the three-dimensional effect of the celadon porcelain is magnificent. With its unique shape, the plate is an eye-catcher on the table. 

The traditional technique of Nabeshima ware is characterized by a pale blue color reminiscent of the morning of the Okawachiyama in a light mist. Hataman Touen has taken on the challenge of creating a new expression of celadon porcelain, and has created the matte-textured Moist series with a sandblasted finish. The moist texture is very smooth to the touch, and the fresh green gradation gives a cool and refreshing feeling.

Nabeshima celadon is a rare green-colored glaze produced from high-quality celadon ore mined in the Okawachiyama using a secret formula never before used outside of the area. This contrast creates a wide range of gradations in the ware and accentuates the sense of depth, which is one of the traditional techniques of Nabeshima ware.

Hataman Touen is a company that aims to "create a new Nabeshima" along with passing on the history and traditional craft of Imari Nabeshima ware, which has continued for 370 years. Based on the belief that "traditional crafts can only be inherited if they are closely connected to daily life," the company offers tableware that enriches the spirit and sensibility following modern lifestyles.
