Oval Plate Gray 03
Kubomi is a pottery by Takayuki Watanabe, a potter who makes pottery in the mountains of Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The soft roundness created by copying the form of natural stone onto the sand has an attractive texture that makes you feel the warmth when you touch it.
The act of using the ``soil'' of the earth we stand on and the ``trees'' that grow from it, and by burning the wood, converting the energy into ``fire'' and returning it to the earth. For Takayuki Watanabe, the ceramics that are born from this process are the very essence of life.
The natural presence of the leaf-shaped pottery gives it a relaxed feel that makes the food on it look cozy, and each piece has its own unique beauty.
