The cutoff rim reflects rustic expressions of the earthen, which in contrast enhances the chic presence of plate surface. The natural rough finish is the charm of a slab built Tatara plate. Imperfection of form combined with carefully crafted foot of plate exudes aesthetic of traditional Japanese philosophy. Each piece is crafted by hand and its unique charms enhance plated dishes softly.
