This dish by Shigeyoshi Morioka is shaped after a heart-shaped forest leaf, with intricate veins and a gently scalloped edge. Fired in a traditional wood kiln, the surface glows with deep reds, iron blacks, and scattered ash marks—echoes of soil and flame.
Unlike stylized tableware, this piece feels found. As if it once fell from a tree, then slept in a kiln. Small and open, it can hold objects or nothing at all—either way, it rests like a leaf returned to the ground.
