Deceptively simple, these leaf plates by Kowari Tetsuya contain tiny worlds of epic landscapes; pooling lakes, vast beaches and shifting earth.

Fired over multiple days in a traditional Anagama kiln, Oribe glaze and iron oxide washes are applied in a manner similar to sumi-e or Japanese ink paintings, embodying the tranquil and complex beauty of the natural world.

Tetsuya Kowari produces extraordinary vessels that seem almost too sculptural to use but are in fact are all highly functional. These are pieces designed for daily use, or simply for daily contemplation of their incredible aesthetic.

Kowari creates his pieces in a wood fired anagama kiln in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the DEA Store is the official stockist of Tetsuya Kowari work in Australia.
