"Kohiki" plate /Ryutaro Yamada

Kohiki plates are Japanese ceramics known for their warm, rustic, and organic aesthetic, featuring a distinctive white slip (powdered clay) applied over a dark clay body, resulting in subtle, creamy, or beige tones. These handcrafted plates frequently display unique, textured surfaces, light flecks, and gentle, imperfect shapes, making each piece unique.
