Special order black slip rectangular dish ¥6,000+TAX

Slipware is a type of pottery in which a pattern is drawn using a dropper or ladle of mud-like decorative clay called slip. The rectangular dish produced for this project features random lines that look like waves, created by pouring two thick lines with a ladle and then scratching one side of the line with a finger.

In addition, cups and saucers have been specially ordered and will be available at COBI COFFEE during the exhibition period when ordering flannel drip coffee.

It is characterized by its versatility and can be used with all kinds of dishes, both Japanese and Western, and you can never have too many of them. The exhibition will be open until the end of this week, so don't delay.

Matsubara Ryoma
He studied in Imari City, Saga Prefecture, and built a kiln in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture. In 2014, he moved to his hometown of Usa, Oita. While creating mainly kohiki, which is a deep white with black spots, he has also recently taught himself to make slipware. The unique distortion of the clay, called "mud-sho," is also a characteristic of his work. While being so naturalistic that they fit in easily at the dining table, they have a powerful expression and presence, and the more you use them, the more you will be captivated by his vessels.
