Mingei | Onta Ware Plate
This handcrafted ceramic plate, titled Mingei, is a piece rooted in the timeless pottery traditions of Onta village on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Onta is a village where potters work together using traditional techniques passed down since the 15th century, when Korean artisans introduced kiln design innovations and ash-glazing methods to the region.
Designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan in 1995, Onta ware embodies the enduring beauty of traditional craft in the spirit of the Mingei movement founded by Soetsu Yanagi in 1920. The Mingei philosophy finds value in the simple and useful and honors everyday objects.
Use this piece to serve meals, hold fruit, or anchor a quiet moment on your table. Its weight and form make it equally satisfying to use or display. Like all Onta ceramics, it is made from local clay and wood-fired for variation and warmth that no two pieces share exactly.
