With their ash-burnished glow and unexpected markings, these small plates from Yamato Harunobu Shoroku Kiln offer a quiet tension between form and chance. Each plate is glazed with wara—the straw ash that defines Hagi’s rustic palette—then touched with a splash of iron oxide that leaves behind a singular, wind-swept trace across the surface.

The result is a gentle drama: soft gradients of brown and ivory framing a fleeting moment of unpredictability. Slightly cupped and low in profile, the plates suit small servings with subtle presence, whether for salt-cured pickles or after-dinner sweets.

Each set includes two plates—similar in spirit, never in repetition.

Meet the Artisan

Yamato Harunobu Shoroku Kiln

The roots of Yamato Harunobu Shoroku Kiln reach back to the Meiji era, when Harunobu, son of Sakutaro—the founder of the original Shoroku kiln—established his own workshop in the Hagi tradition. Though its precise founding date is unknown, the kiln has been active for over a century, preserved through generations under the name Yamato Harunobu Shoroku. Located in Yamaguchi City, the kiln is distinguished by its dedication to complete on-site production. More than 1,000 tons of native Hagi clay are stored and processed within the property, and even the water used in the clay and glaze preparation is drawn from a deep well beneath the kiln. Every step—from soil refinement and glaze formulation to shaping, firing, and finishing—is carried out within the same grounds. This self-sufficient approach allows the kiln to maintain both material integrity and artistic continuity. Today, the current generation continues to uphold this legacy, crafting vessels that embody the spirit of Hagi ware: rooted in nature, refined through time, and made entirely by hand.
