Vessels that bring brightness and joy
An oval plate created as an homage to the picture book "Ano Hoshi Nan no Hoshi" (That Star, What Star?), illustrated by Mr. Yanagihara, a favorite artist of Nataochi.
Rabbits frolic in a field, gazing up at constellations in the night sky.
This piece captures a scene from a story, as if contemplating the starry sky.
Actually, the inspiration for this rabbit motif came from Nataochi-san starting to keep rabbits a few years ago.
The image of rabbits freely running through fields spreads across the ceramics, and along with the soft forms created by hand-pinching, a somewhat warm and familiar world view unfolds.
The approximately 2cm rim gracefully frames the design like a picture frame, making the world view, as if taken from a page of a picture book, even more impressive.
The inside of the rim measures approximately 18.5cm wide.
It's the perfect size for light pasta dishes or omurice. You can use it for breakfast with bread and a salad, or as a dessert plate.
It's a delightful dish that allows you to experience the rabbits' story every time you use it.

Ms. Nataochi, who creates pottery in Kanagawa Prefecture.
She has loved drawing since childhood and decided to pursue a career in art during high school. She then studied pottery in the Department of Crafts at Tokyo University of the Arts.
After graduating, she continued her creative activities while working as an art teacher.
Her unique creative style involves first deciding on a title, envisioning the story she wants to convey through the piece, and then drawing the design.
The motif that symbolizes Ms. Nataochi's work is the adorable rabbit.
She began incorporating rabbits into her work a few years ago after she started living with one.
She values expressing cuteness without being overly sweet, aiming to create tableware that can be cherished for a long time.
Her oval plates are made using the "coil-building" technique, where clay is rolled into coils and stacked to form the shape. The soft contours unique to handmade items and the somewhat warm form are possible precisely because of this technique.
All of Ms. Nataochi's works feature the "sgraffito" technique, where the surface is carved away. The soft shadows created by this extra step add depth and rich expression to the entire piece.
The warmth of handmade craftsmanship can be felt in each delicate line, and the charm of her work lies in enjoying a world much like illustrations from a picture book.
