Notes

[ About Hakuji Neriage Works ]
Due to the production method, no two patterns are exactly alike, and it is impossible to know exactly what kind of pattern will emerge until the firing is complete. We hope you will enjoy slowly observing the beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime scenery.
*There may be parts that look like chips, scratches, or nicks, but please enjoy them as part of the work's character.
*As these are handmade items, there may be individual differences in size, shape, and color, and they may differ from the photos.

Handling Precautions

[ Initial Use ]
For unglazed white porcelain pieces, if you quickly rinse them with water before use, food stains will be less likely to stick.

[ Compatibility with Food and Tea ]
They can be used without concern for typical stir-fries. However, please be careful when using particularly vibrant foods like curry, as color transfer may occur. Katakuchi bowls and teacups pair very well with Chinese tea.

[ Daily Care and When Stains Occur ]
If you notice tea stains or dirt, it is recommended to soak the piece in an oxygen-based bleach solution for about 30 minutes. Covering larger surfaces with kitchen paper dampened with bleach is also effective. (Oxygen-based bleach is more effective than chlorine-based bleach.)

Artisan / Akari Sato Material / White porcelain Region / Toki City, Gifu Prefecture

The "neriage" technique involves layering different clays.
The resulting vessels, each unique, reveal different expressions every time they emerge from the kiln.
Ceramic artist Akari Sato continues to create pottery daily, looking forward to these once-in-a-lifetime encounters.

This piece, intentionally crafted with the neriage technique using white porcelain, creates an even clearer impression.
Its dignified elegance stands out.

The soft, wood-grain-like pattern changes its appearance with the light, revealing new scenery every time you glance at it.

Its versatile shape allows for various uses, such as holding dressings or sauces, or enjoying Chinese tea. Adding it to your dining table or tea time brings the rich expressions of the neriage pattern closer to you.

“I hope you find it beautiful to look at.”
This work embodies Ms. Sato’s sentiment.
