 He walks the mountains himself to collect the raw materials such as soil, iron, and stone. The design is simple and fits in with modern food culture, so that it can be used for a long time. The plates are made with clay refined from iron-rich soil collected in the Sari area, and made with a glaze made from iron collected in the Kanaishihara area.
