At FOOD FOR THOUGHT, Tokoname-based ceramic artist Satonobu Ito boasts top-class popularity. He boasts charismatic popularity for his porcelain-based color painting series and seal series using local Tokoname red clay.

Mr. Ito's works, which are always conscious of "useful vessels", are colorful but do not interfere with cooking at all, creating a pleasant communication at the dining table. The handle is very good, and the moderate thickness and weight balance that is neither too heavy nor too light are unique to an excellent artist.
