AIKACRAFT7寸06

AIKA CRAFT's round plates [ordered by M KYOTO], which show the climate of Miyazu, a castle town by the sea.

Miyazu is a peaceful castle town by the sea located in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. Yoichi and Emiko Akishika moved from Osaka to Miyazu in 2017 to start their pottery studio, AIKA CRAFT. Using clay she mined on her own and other clay that still has a rough texture, she produces dishes and cups that make the most of the materiality of the clay, mainly for daily use. This time, we introduce a 7" round plate with a simple design that is suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and any time of the day!

1.Plates that are easy to use as a "tool for serving food

[One of the production themes of AICA CRAFT is "Kyoto without elegance. This theme is expressed in the form of dishes that are easy to use in everyday life as "tools for serving food" and are finished in simple shapes in the hope that they can be used by a variety of people. The warmth of the clay and the natural colors that cannot be expressed in a single word create an organic beauty that attracts people who use it.

2.Colors from nature enhance the food.

This 7" round dish is also useful for serving main dishes. It complements any dish, from curry and hamburgers to pasta and gyoza, so much so that there is no dish that does not go well with Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. Perhaps the reason for this is the gentle colors created by using glazes made from natural materials such as Tango clay and plant ashes. The colors are inspired by the scenery and nature that Mr. and Mrs. Akishika, who live in Miyazu, see in their daily lives, such as water, air, light, and soil. The round plates come in four colors: "morning mist," "surface of the water," "erased charcoal," and "rainy sky." The scenery of the dishes changes depending on the angle of view, giving them a different look for each scene of use.
