Toukoubou Yu - Scrape-off pattern plate

8,800 YEN

size : W19.7cm×19.5cm×H4.4cm

This is a gray-ash-glazed Kakiotoshi plate made by Toukoubou Yu.

The turnip motif, rendered through the studio’s signature meticulous white slip and Kakiotoshi technique, is paired with a simple and classic ash glaze that enhances the colors of the food served upon it. The resulting glaze tone is a refreshing gray that perfectly complements a variety of ingredients.

Instead of a cold white, the overall impression is a warm and gentle shade, allowing one to enjoy both the cleanliness and wabi-sabi charm characteristic of white slip.

At just under 20cm in diameter, this piece is perfectly sized for individual use. The simplicity and cleanliness of the design make it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of dishes.

Though the piece already exudes a sense of calm maturity, as it is used over time, subtle shrinkage marks in the glaze will darken and develop a patina, giving it a more antique character.

The central part of the vessel is gently swollen, reminiscent of a baby’s navel.
This form, combined with the shell-like curvature of the overall shape, creates a unique presence—
