Pro Wrestler "Dropkick" Square Plate

A small square plate featuring a top-knotted wrestler drop-kicking his opponent. The central motif is complimented by a geometric border.

Initially encouraged by watching a neighbor practicing pottery, Junko Shindo was inspired by the idea of creating vessels for everyday life.

After pursuing an academic path in ceramics, Junko Shindo honed her unique and playful approach to pottery design by showing at exhibitions and festivals across Japan.

The whimsical, top-knotted designs by motif. are driven by the hopes of subverting expectations of Japanese pottery, and perhaps mystifying future archeologists.
