Traditional Echizen Kawara tileware plate made from the natural earth in the Hokuriku region of Japan. The History: These elegant plates are modeled after the Echizen Kawara tiles seen garnishing rooftops across this ancient region, creating a visual harmony between exterior architecture and interior decor. Echizen Kawara tileware plates are made with the same technology used to produce the famous tiles, maintaining a high molding accuracy. This level of detail is impossible on a potter's wheel as square plates are prone to warp. Mass-produced dishes are often made from blended clay to ensure a uniform appearance, but not Echizen Kawara tileware. By molding from clay harvested directly from Hokuriku's soil with as little modification as possible, the cultural integrity and individual charm of each piece are on full display. Gentle imperfections and divergent expressions make every dish a unique treasure. Unmatched Durability: Echizen Kawara tileware boasts outstanding strength. The secret is a unique firing technique using a tunnel kiln, a practice unique to Echizen Kawara tiles. The same endurance that keeps Echizen Kawara roof tiles reliable regardless of weather severity year round is the same lastingness you'll find in every exquisite plate, perfect for everyday use.
