It is a simple texture with a milky white glaze and gray through, and the nuanced white stands out even more.
A dish with a pattern attached to the "Hand Series" based on the clay prototype created by Rokuro. The design is called "Phenakistoscope" and is inspired by the early rotary anime that originated in Belgium and Austria.

Mulet
As the name suggests, "Mulet", which means "cloudy sky" in Swedish, is a series that impresses with its nuanced shades of white and gray.
If you look at the color alone, you may get the impression that it is cold, but Mulet has a warm atmosphere. That's because the distorted shapes and shades of the glaze, which are deliberately finished in slightly different shapes one by one, convey the traces of handiwork and warmth. It is not flashy by any means, but it gently and quietly complements the food, and it blends well with different materials, such as wood, metal, glass, and cutlery.
The Mulet series is made with the commitment to developing original soil from clay (in general, there are many makers who purchase soil from a clay shop and use it as it is). This unique color was finally completed after many prototypes of adding about 20 percent porcelain components to the black clay, which is a blend of cobalt- and iron-rich soil with the crisp rough soil of Shigaraki ware that has been used in Japan for a long time, increasing the strength of the fabric, and applying the original milky white glaze.
Then, in order to make this series, we knead it with a stirrer at our own workshop in Gifu Prefecture and bake it at 1250 degrees. Since it is baked at a high temperature, it has a thin and durable finish. You can also use a microwave or dishwasher, which is very practical.
Mulet has a lineup of three types: "relief", "line", and "hand".
You can enjoy choosing the scene and your preference, with gorgeous reliefs with plant patterns, simple edge lines that go well with any dish, and shapes that are faithful to the prototype that the designer himself guided with Rokuro.
