This wide, dark circle holds the memory of fire and riverbed clay, pulled from Shimane’s earth and glazed in deep Irabo brown. Its surface is quiet, textured like the skin of old bark or cooled lava.

From the studios of Shussai-Gama, its presence is meditative—weighty yet still, like a bell before it rings. Signed and boxed with original paper. Not made for decoration alone, but for living, for rhythm, for the table where silence is also a guest. A plate as poetry, firm as the earth it rose from.

Content Notes:

Formed in the fires of Hikawa’s nobori-gama, this handcrafted stoneware plate bears the weight of philosophy. From Shussai-Gama—a commune born of five friends and the Mingei dream—it arrives in silence, glazed in earth’s own palette. The surface, textured like cooled lava, draws the eye in. Accompanied by its original paper and mark, this piece does not beg attention—it earns it.
