Typically, wood-fired kilns are fired for 2-3 days, but Seikou's signature Nanban Yakishime (stoneware) is fired continuously for 10 days, consuming tens of tons of firewood in a single firing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moriokas use this very demanding production method. They have provided us with vibrant pieces that convey the raw energy of the flames in the kiln. \u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Nanban Yakishime western-style plate. Its highly practical shape and size make it ideal for those who are new to yakishime. It was the most popular item in our store for customers making their first purchase of Seikou's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the shop owner used it for curry at home, the surface, which had been used for decades, had a glossy, lacquer-like appearance. Spoons felt comfortable on it, and I fell in love with it at first sight. These western-style plates are popular and often out of stock.

While oil stains are particularly prone to appearing at first, the vessel will develop beautifully as it is used consistently.

Began pottery at age 25 and built a kiln in Amano at the foot of Mt. Koya. Encountered Nanban Yakishime during a visit to Tanegashima, and has since focused on yakishime pottery.\u003c\/span\u003e Afterward, he traveled to kilns around the world, including North and Central America, Southeast Asia, Korea, and India, to learn about making vessels and earthenware. He is an artist who has attracted attention both domestically and internationally, with one of his large jars being held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"森岡成好 \/ Shigeyoshi Morioka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49777653776661,"sku":null,"price":5417.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/9124\/1110\/files\/260212_FFT21354.jpg?v=1771056009","url":"https:\/\/foodforthoughttokyo.com\/zh-tw\/products\/60-%e6%b4%8b%e7%9a%bf","provider":"FOOD FOR THOUGHT | フードフォーソート","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
