Description
Mino Ware 美濃焼
The Kokuyou Plate is a wide, low-profile plate with a gently sloped rim and a broad, open surface. Kokuyou (黒曜) translates to Obsidian, a deep near-black glaze fired by Sakuzan with a fine, hammered texture that gives the surface a subtle metallic sheen, shifting between dark iron and warm bronze depending on the light. Part of Minoso's Fire collection, the color is inspired by the transformative energy of flame. The dark surface makes the colors of plated food read with particular clarity against it.

About Mino Ware
Mino ware, or Mino-yaki (美濃焼), is one of Japan's oldest pottery traditions, with roots stretching back over 1,300 years in Gifu Prefecture in central Japan. The region's geology, rich in diverse clays, feldspar, and silica, has made it the largest ceramics-producing region in Japan, accounting for roughly half of all tableware made in the country today. Rather than working within a single style, Mino has always been defined by its range, from traditional craft pieces to professional tableware for restaurants and hotels.
ARJ works with a selection of kilns in Mino, each with its own approach to clay, glaze, and form. What they share is a commitment to making tableware that holds up in daily use while carrying the material character that comes from working within a tradition this deep. The pieces are earthy, considered, and built to last.
