Small Karahashi Ware Dishes with Owl Design
Karahashi Ware is pottery from Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, established in 1989 by Yoshikazu Wakayama
Having trained at a long-established Shigaraki pottery prior to opening his own kiln, his unique blend of techniques can be seen in his pieces
The blue glaze used is referred to as Biwako Blue and represents the blue of Japan’s largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa, which occupies one-sixth of Shiga Prefecture’s area
His main motif is the Fukuro (owl), considered to be auspicious, symbolizing good fortune, longevity and business prosperity, being able to see in all directions as it can turn its neck 360 degrees
Most Karahashi Ware owls have their eyes closed, signifying the nurturing of dreams; when they open their eyes, they are able to see the world clearly
