About:
For the celebration of four hundred years of porcelain production in Japan, the prefecture of Saga invited sixteen international designers in Japan, with the purpose of creating sixteen contemporary porcelain collections.
In his quest to better understand Arita-ware across its 400 year history, Japanese designer Shigeki Fujishiro discovered the predominance of the colour red. Within Arita, overglaze itself is commonly referred to as akae or literally ‘red painting’ and has historically been used with great deference for centuries, an aspect that Fujishiro picked up on and decided to use as the central concept for his design range.
This is a series of daily use items whose form is composed in clean, straight lines, emphasising a functionality that will make them a versatile and harmonious addition to Asian and Western dining tables.

The glaze which is protecting the porcelain is not recognised as a glaze and has this charming touch of an unglazed item.
Please note that porcelain is a ceramic material of the highest quality. Admired because of its translucence, it is the strongest ceramic material and is much more durable then normal ceramic.
