Hakeme Deep Plate
Hakeme Deep Plate
This plate's white slip surface creates a stunning canvas for momiji spots to form. The large size and deeper shape makes this a wonderful serving plate.
Each piece of Matsuno-san's Hakeme series is delicately crafted by hand and can be distinguished by the white glaze brush stroke adorned on the exterior. The pieces in the series feature several orange spots referred to as maple leaves or Momiji.

Sohei Matsuno
In what was previously his father's studio, home to six full time working artists, Matsuno-san now works on his own, pushing the boundaries of what is considered classically Hagi yaki.
Adding a contemporary approach to the 400 year old form, his work features glaze colours not traditionally seen in Hagi yaki. Alongside his more traditional works, it is not uncommon to find deep ruby reds, bright blues and greens, and even his signature mauve glaze.
