Stoneware plate by Shohei Nagatsuka, a ceramic artist based in Tajimi, Gifu Japan. Fired at high temperatures without glaze, each piece features a remarkably smooth texture and refined presence, bringing out the inherent strength and beauty of the clay itself. Due to the nature of the material, oils may gradually create subtle stains on the surface—an evolving character that becomes part of the pleasure of using and nurturing the piece.

・As each piece is handmade, slight variations in size, shape, and color may occur.
・Due to the characteristics of unglazed, high-fired ceramics, oils or strongly colored foods may leave marks on the surface.
・Before first use, lightly rinse with water to help reduce staining.
Shohei’s works are both refined and gentle, conveying warmth within their calm and dignified presence. A defining feature is his unglazed, high-fired technique. While he envisions a certain landscape of black, gray, and deep reddish tones when firing the kiln, the final expression is ultimately entrusted to fire, clay, and time. Embracing natural fluctuations, each form is crafted with meticulous care and sincerity. Within this delicate balance resides the distinctive beauty unique to his work.
