Yamagen Toen x Amenoiye "marais"

“marais” evokes the moistness of a marshland and the elegance reminiscent of European antiques.

Its natural, gentle hues, as if the sky were reflected in a puddle, showing a blue sky and clouds, have a calming effect.
The smooth texture makes food shine brighter, and the soft colors bring a sense of comfort.

My encounter with "marais" happened when I visited Yamagen Toen, a pottery studio in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture.
With the concept of "updating tradition," they inherit the spirit of potters who have responded to the demands of their time, developing and manufacturing Tokoname ware that suits modern life.

When I requested them to produce heat-resistant tableware, they readily accepted, and provided two shapes, an oval plate and an octagonal plate, in two sizes, a large plate and a small plate, and in two colors, white and blue.

marais Lunch plate

The medium size is very easy to use, with a slightly shallow but expansive design.
It's the perfect size for serving salads, cut fruits, or sandwiches.
You'll find yourself reaching for it naturally at any time of day, whether morning, noon, or night.


Two shapes: oval and octagonal

The octagon, called "octagonal" in French, is considered an auspicious shape in traditional Eastern culture, symbolizing harmony and prosperity. It makes you want to add it to your collection as a modern and unique style, distinct from ordinary plates.

For the basic white, which has a presence even when small, serve cheese, olives, or burrata cheese appetizers.
It can be used in any situation and enhances the color and presence of the food, making it perfect for serving puddings or cakes.

Handling Precautions

・When using for the first time, always wash with water or lukewarm water.
・"Medome" (pre-treatment) can help prevent food colors from seeping in.
・After use, remove dirt promptly and store after drying thoroughly.
・When stacking, place a sheet of tissue paper between items to prevent scratches.
・Avoid using abrasive cleaners, detergents with abrasives, scouring powder, metal scrubbers, etc., as vigorous scrubbing may scratch the surface. Please wash with a soft sponge.
