Couldn't load pickup availability
Beautiful and bold painting
A cute 3-inch plate that fits in the palm of your hand. Dynamic Okinawan patterns brightly decorate your dining table. 
The two-color half-dot pattern stands out against the slightly grayish white color, and just looking at it will make you feel energetic. Although Yachimun has a strong image of being heavy, Toshin Kiln is characterized by not being too heavy or thick. The rise of the edges is also exquisite, and it fits naturally in your hand. This may be the result of a history of creating everyday pottery that is close to the people who use it. 
For soy sauce dishes and side dishes
It's the perfect size for a small side dish or a meal that you can rest on your chopsticks. It also works great as a soy sauce plate on sushi and gyoza. It looks like it would be fun to line up several of them with condiments such as green onions, myoga, or cut lemons on top. 
When eating bread, put butter or jam on top. Add delicacies and nuts to make your evening drink feel a little more luxurious. Although it is small, it is a very hard worker. They're easy to pick up and can be stacked, so it's a good idea to have several for your family or for guests.

About the style and atmosphere
Toshin Kiln strives to create new products while preserving tradition. When setting the fire in the kiln, we offer a prayer: ``Imamarashi Misore'' (please be born). Utsuwa were born with the blessings of Okinawa's nature and the passion of their creators. Please raise them with love. Yachimun is Okinawan pottery that gives you a sense of warmth and a laid-back climate. Yachimun often has uneven glaze application, cracks called intrusions, accumulations of layered glaze, unevenness, and pinholes. We hope that you will enjoy the tasteful textures of these handmade pottery, which are not found in mass-produced products.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
