"zen to," a ceramic brand that offers a diverse range of personalities to meet varied needs. This summer's highlight is the "curry plate" collection by 8 product designers active in various fields.

Kentarō Abe achieves the Hasami-yaki aesthetic and ease of use through his painted designs. Yōta Kakuta presents a geometrically divided plate composed of circles. Meanwhile, Takuhiro Shinomoto offers a large oval shape for generous portions, while Shizuka Tatsuno's design is a smaller oval bowl, perfect for enjoying small amounts even when held in one hand.

Hisashi Shimizu expresses the aluminum foil containers used in in-flight meals using ceramics. A delightful item that evokes travel during the pandemic. Norihiko Terayama created an object resembling an inkstone. It allows for separating curry and rice, to be mixed at one's own pace.

Hiroki Yoshitomi ingeniously reverses traditional techniques, creating a plate with an inner rim that allows for easy scooping of every last bit of curry. Ryōhei Yukiyoshi's oval plate is generously sized with a deep, upright rim for ample servings.

Currently available at the online store and the select shop "Brick & Mortar" in Nakameguro.
