Thrown at a small kiln in Shigaraki, Shiga Prefecture, by a two-person studio that has been working in the same clay body since 2004. The glaze is an ash-and-feldspar mix that produces a slightly uneven surface. No two plates are identical. Dishwasher safe, though the studio recommends hand washing to preserve the glaze texture over time.
Woven at the Yoshida Mill in Nara, which has been producing household linens since 1963. The weave is a plain twill at 185 gsm, which is heavy enough to dry a full set of dishes without needing to be wrung out. Sold individually or in sets of three. Colour options: natural, slate, and deep indigo.
Cut from end-grain oak sourced from a managed forest in Gifu Prefecture. The medium board is 32 cm x 22 cm x 4 cm, which fits comfortably on a standard Japanese counter without overhanging the edge. Pre-oiled with food-grade walnut oil. Comes with a small tin of the same oil for the first re-oiling.
Cast at a foundry in Mizusawa, Iwate Prefecture, using a sand-mould process that has not changed significantly since the foundry opened in 1952. Pre-seasoned with rice bran oil. The handle is long enough to keep your hand away from the heat without a cloth. Weight is 1.8 kg, which is on the lighter side for cast iron of this diameter.
