exclusive pottery for your table,
this could be for you,
the discovery of porcelain clay in Arita, Japan around the end of the 16th century lead to
a number of kilns being established in the area,
and over the next 400 years arita-yaki, as it’s referred to will grow into the grandfather of fine porcelain,
Keizan kiln, located in Arita, was founded in 1957 by Ryuichi
Shinohara who got his start making handmade, hand-painted dishes for ryotei,
high-end traditional Japanese restaurants,
collaborating with designer Shizuka Tatsuno, Keizan kiln recently launched a new brand of porcelain called mg&gk, essentially an ode to foodie onomatopoeia, mg is short for mogumogu (the sound you make when eating) and gk stands for gokugoku (the sound you make when drinking),
Keizan kiln has always considered cuisine to be integral to
their product, and their first launch is pair of dishes to serve tea and
sweets, each are hand-painted with Kissho monyo, Japanese traditional
motifs such as nami (wave), shippo (seven treasures),
and asanoha(hemp leaves),
and the reason it is so exclusive? the pieces are currently only available at Keizan’s shop in Arita, and nice they look too.
