Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Today, I would like to introduce the leaf plates from the "Yoshinobu Morimoto New Tableware Collection" that we released yesterday.
With their unique red clay base and tasteful kiln-transmutation glaze, these wonderful pieces look like magical leaves that stay in their autumn colors forever.
For this shoot, I soaked these lovely leaf plates in water for a while before photographing them.
What do you think? The red tones have become richer and more lustrous, and the matte ash glaze has taken on a moist look that is truly spectacular.
June has arrived, rice planting has begun in the Bizen region, and we have had several days of early summer rain,
so these out-of-season autumn leaves look as if they have been dampened by the spring rain, which feels quite romantic.
Doing this also makes the tableware less prone to staining or absorbing odors, and above all, it significantly enhances the beauty of the pieces, so I highly recommend it.
It also makes the colors of pieces like *hidasuki* (fire-cord patterns) much more vivid and lovely.
