Tsugaru Kanayama pottery is made from high-quality resources found at a local reservoir in Tsugaru, Aomori prefecture. This matte brown collection, called "Sangiri”, is produced by indirectly heating pottery that's buried in ash. The same effect is also achieved when pottery is fired in a furnace and heated until oxidation occurs. The lack of oxygen that these methods create causes whites, greys, and blues that are seen in nature to appear in patterns on the surface of the pottery.
The pattern of circles you see on the plate is from a technique called "Botamochi". Round or circular smaller pottery is placed on top of the plate to be fired and put into the furnace. After firing up the plates, the small circular pottery is removed, exposing round marks left on the plate or bowl.
This rectangular matte brown plate has a rustic and unique design, the perfect size for serving sashimi, appetizers, or sides.
