Documented

We documented the thinking behind Sori Yanagi, whose designs were always shaped by hand before they were drawn.

Sori Yanagi, 1975. A vision for Japanese tableware, revived in its truest form.

This medium plate carries a blue and white motif inspired by the swirling Naruto whirlpools. It marked a rare moment in Sori Yanagi's work: the first time he deliberately added a decorative pattern, believing this design warranted it. Known for over a decade as the "Washokki Marumon" series before it was discontinued, the pattern has now been reborn under the supervision of the Yanagi Industrial Design Institute.

A medium plate with gentle depth for a main course, curry, pasta, or a plated meal for one. Made for daily life.

Sold individually, one plate per piece. Add a quantity of 2 or more for a matching set.

SORI YANAGI (1915-2011)

Industrial Designer. Inheriting the spirit of the Mingei movement, he defined the beauty of post-war Japanese design. His work, including the iconic Butterfly Stool, achieved worldwide acclaim with the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennale. As director of the Japan Folk Crafts Museum and a nationally honored Person of Cultural Merit, his influence is timeless. A prolific creator to the end.
