Shohei Ono / “Ao-hai” Plate

A plate with blue-gray ash glaze by contemporary ceramic artist Shohei Ono.

Ono's distinctive expression emerges from his ongoing exploration of clay, glaze, and the firing process. The rich shades of blue created by the ash glaze, together with the subtle variations and textures of handcraftsmanship, give each piece its own unique landscape.

From deep, tranquil blues to softer hues where the ash melts into the glaze, no two pieces are ever alike. The natural flow of the glaze and the effects of firing create individual expressions, each with a beauty of its own.

Whether displayed or used, the possibilities unfold freely within the everyday lives of those who own them.

As a plate for serving meals at the everyday table, or as a special piece to complement a celebratory occasion.

A vessel that blends naturally into daily life, revealing new expressions with every use.
