Shaped as a fish and fired in a multi-chamber wood kiln, this dish by Shigeyoshi Morioka is marked by a dense, matte surface of deep grey clay and natural ash. The engraved lines—gills, fins, and one watchful eye—are rendered with the same quiet restraint that defines his practice.

Unlike polished sculpture or decorative tableware, this piece leans toward stillness. It is heavy in texture, rich with fire memory, and full of earth’s quiet gravity. Whether placed on a table or held in the hand, it offers more than utility—something closer to presence.

Dimensions: L31*W18 cm

Shigeyoshi Morioka

Shigeyoshi Morioka is a revered potter working in the mountain village of Amano, Wakayama. Firing in multi-chamber wood kilns, he creates vessels that span from rugged and elemental to serene and introspective. With a deep sensitivity to clay, ash, and flame, Morioka’s work reflects decades of practice and presence. His influence extends quietly but profoundly across generations of Japanese and international ceramic artists. Each piece carries earth, fire, and time—held in form, never forced.
