Exclusivity Note: Each and every plate is carefully handcrafted, resulting in slight variations that make each plate unique.

The Akafuji Fujiyama Rectangular Plate is pottery art designed for daily use, not display alone.

Hand-shaped at Nunobiki-yaki by master Kazuhiro Kojima, it captures Mount Fuji in deep iron red tones beneath a dark sky, achieved through the Nanasai Tenmoku glazing technique, a layered coloring method that creates subtle shifts and depth.

Gentle asymmetries in form and glaze reflect an intentional wabi-sabi character, distancing it from factory ware.

Ideal for sushi, desserts, or seasonal dishes, it brings a touch of Japan to your table.

More Information

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.

Care Guide

About your Akafuji Fujiyama Plate
Though it is a handcrafted ceramic piece, Akafuji is made to be used every day, bringing a quiet sense of occasion to tea and small sweets. It simply appreciates gentle handling.

Maintenance

No Harsh Appliances: Avoid the oven, microwave, and dishwasher to protect the handmade finish and delicate decoration.
Gentle Cleaning: Wash by hand with warm water, mild non-abrasive detergent, and a soft sponge or cloth. Skip harsh detergents and abrasive scrubbers.
Preservation: Dry with a soft cloth and store with care, keeping the edges from bumping against other pieces to preserve the clean rectangular lines and painted surface.

The Artist

Kazuhiro Kojima

Location: Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Technique: Nanasai Tenmoku
Tradition: Kyoto ware / Shigaraki ware

Born in 1972, Kazuhiro Kojima is a Japanese ceramic artist and son of Taro Kojima, founder of Nunobiki Kiln. Growing up surrounded by clay, fire, and his father's restless experimentation, the kiln was never a distant place. It was home.

After completing his studies at art college, he returned to Nunobiki and trained alongside his father, gradually developing a visual language distinctly his own. His signature subject is the owl, rendered using the Nanasai Tenmoku technique across a range of scales, from monumental ceramic statues to small, intimate accessories.

His pieces have been placed in hospitals, public institutions, and streetscapes, chosen for the sense of calm and quiet warmth they carry.
