RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Through the internet reserch to 17,000 housewives in Japan, we reserched the most useful size of dishes and bowls for the daily food life and found between 12cm through 24cm is the most useful size for food service. Through the group interview with 30 housewives and single ladies, have jobs and aged 30th and early 40th, we reserched the necessary function for dishes and found the glosy skin and functionality for cooking and preserving food, dishwashing and stacking must be compatible for daily use.

CHALLENGE:
The dishware normally shrinks during firing in the kiln. Normal porcelain ware shrinks plun or minus 2% or more. By controlling the shrinking degree in minimum to plus or minus 1% or less, OSORO was acheived the tolerance of size in minimum and was shaped with the straight wall and edge as well as stacking capability. In addition to this, glossy surface by frit graze and its functionality for heat resistance and durability were given by the newly developed raw material called NARUMIO which was developed for OSORO.
