Akafuji Fujiyama Rectangular Plate 4.7" (216 mm)

• Uniquely Handcrafted
  Each Akafuji Plate is shaped by hand at Nunobiki kiln, so no two pieces come out exactly alike.
  Slight differences in form, glaze movement, and surface balance are natural signs of the making process, giving each plate its own quiet identity and keeping it far from factory uniformity.
• Nanasai Tenmoku with Red Mount Fuji
  The defining feature of this plate is its Nanasai Tenmoku (七彩天目) glaze, which captures Mount Fuji in deep iron red beneath a dark sky.
  Layered tones create subtle depth and soft transitions across the rectangular surface, turning the plate into a striking landscape in ceramic form.
• Cultural Heritage of Akafuji
  Akafuji (赤富士), meaning “Red Fuji,” refers to the celebrated image of Mount Fuji glowing red under special light, a motif deeply rooted in Japanese visual culture.
  By bringing this iconic scene into a functional plate, the piece joins everyday dining with a subject long admired in Japanese art and seasonal appreciation.
