Boxed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single moment of nature, captured in pottery.\u003cbr\u003eA half-moon plate where the waves shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo two waves are ever the same.\u003cbr\u003eThe moon, quietly waxing and waning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Lazuli's half-moon flat plate, born as if to cut out one such moment of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Gengetsu” is a soft white series evoking the moon as it quietly waxes and wanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gentle wave pattern rising through the white gives it the stillness of water lit by moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ A Landscape for Your Table ~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crisp half-moon outline and a flat form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlate a dish or a sweet and it shows the food beautifully, with room to spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn the straight “chord” edge toward you, or set it at an angle as if tilting the moon.\u003cbr\u003eSimply changing the orientation changes the mood of the table, making the act of plating a pleasure in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor desserts such as wagashi or cake.\u003cbr\u003eFor a small assortment of appetizers and nibbles.\u003cbr\u003eAnd beyond food, it also works as a plate for displaying favourite small objects or seasonal finds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ No Two Waves Are Alike ~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wave pattern is made with a technique called inkoku, or incised carving: the relief of the waves is cut into the clay surface, white glaze is laid over it, and the pattern rises through the variation in glaze depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relief creates differences in the thickness of the glaze, and soft waves rise through the white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glaze also shifts subtly in the shade and character of its white, depending on its thickness and on how the heat reaches it inside the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same white may appear as a soft milky tone, or let the shadows of the waves surface quietly.\u003cbr\u003eThat fluctuation creates a landscape like water lit by moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow the pattern emerges and how deeply the glaze pools differ slightly from plate to plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo two waves are ever the same.\u003cbr\u003ePlease enjoy the differences between plates, each holding the look of its own single moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ A Gift for Someone Dear ~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt

a birthday, an anniversary, or to celebrate a new beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA moment at the everyday table when the heart quietly unwinds.\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is made one by one, with the wish that good waves may come your way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Material: pottery (Seto ware)\u003cbr\u003e* Size:
