Item


TRACE BOWL/ L


The largest L size can hold plenty as a fruit bowl or a salad serving bowl.

These bowls work great as storage for keys and other small items, or fill one with water and use it as a floating flower vase to add some flare to your interior decor.

Additional Information

– Slight denting or chipping can occur when shaving the base of each piece. This is not considered a defect as long as the piece sits flat and can be used as a bowl.

– Please note that due to the nature of the material, wrinkles and clay lines may appear in unglazed areas. These do not occur as a result of firing but happen during the molding process. Due to a slight separation between the materials, gaps can form between them, which may resemble cracks, but they have no impact on the quality of the piece, and there is no risk of damage.

This is especially likely to occur in black TRACE BOWL L pieces. (All items must pass internal inspection before shipping.)

– Each piece is unique, with different characteristics that vary based on its shape as well as the temperature and condition during firing in the kiln. The color can also vary greatly, from earthy browns to deep blacks.

– White pieces may be rough to the touch, especially at the edges, due to the large granules of iron powder mixed into the glaze.

– Minor flaws can occur during firing and shipping. The soft, dark glaze of black pieces may make them more noticeable, but please note that this is part of the manufacturing process.


This series is the culmination of in-depth research on Amakusa stone, the raw material used to make porcelain.

Different types of natural materials are used in ceramics,
and TRACE was inspired by exploring the “traces” that each material leaves behind.

This series uses two different materials: low-grade shimaishi pottery stone, which is rarely used for tableware, and iron sludge, a byproduct of the ceramics production process that is normally discarded as industrial waste.

Shimaishi stone is rich in iron and, as such, was not historically used in the Hizen area of Saga and Nagasaki prefectures due to their preference for high-grade tokujo stone, a pure white stone with no iron content that was easier to handle.*

(*Pure white ceramics have long been preferred in Arita and Mikawachi ware, which have been used for ceremonial and religious offerings since ancient times. Ceramic stones are classified by grade, and it is said that only 1–2% of the highest tokujo grade can be found in raw materials today.)

While making TRACE, we did just that—traced the history of banded shimaishi stone and decided to use the material for TRACE BLACK and WHITE. We were attracted by its power and the flow of time that it evokes, which reminded us of the ancient past.

BLACK: The inside of these black bowls is covered with a glossy black tenmoku “oil-drop” glaze, while the outside is fired without glaze to preserve the rough texture of the banded shimaishi stone, which gives it a rustic warmth.

WHITE: The white bowls upcycle iron sludge that would usually be discarded as industrial waste and mix it into the glaze. This iron sludge is the product of an iron removal process that removes the material from iron-rich stones using hydrochloric acid to obtain whiter stones.

For this series, we commissioned the Koushungama kiln in the town of Hasami, where a unique process is applied to the iron sludge to remove any hydrochloric acid before using it as a ceramic material.
