This small plate, shaped as a fish and fired in a multi-chamber wood kiln, captures the quiet humor and raw materiality central to Shigeyoshi Moriokaβs work. The form is bold and directβsculpted in a single gesture, with hand-carved fins, gills, and a single eye rendered like a primitive emblem.
Made from unglazed clay and marked by natural ash and fire, this piece holds the essential Morioka sensibility: earthy, unsentimental, and deeply human. It can serve as a tray, plate, or simply a quiet object on the tableβone that speaks with warmth, not decoration.
