Adorable appearance
A plate decorated with strawberries and a pattern decorating the rim. 
The transparent white porcelain has a slightly bluish tinge, and the blue pattern on the edges stands out, creating an elegant atmosphere. In the center of the plate, there are two red strawberries. The three-dimensional texture of strawberry seeds and stems is expressed by the “itchin” technique, in which mud is squeezed out in thin strips, and the texture can also be enjoyed.The cute designs will bring a sense of comfort to your dining table. 
Meal time and snack time
The perfect size for serving side dishes for one person, such as spring rolls and miso-stewed mackerel. The edges are raised, so it's okay even if there's a little bit of water in it, such as meat and potatoes or fried chicken. It's also perfect for serving salads and gratin on a large platter. 
Japanese sweets such as kuzu mochi and warabi mochi, which are topped with soybean flour and brown sugar syrup, also go well. It's also great cookies for quickly putting baked goods such as on top. The frame-like rim makes simple dishes look even more gorgeous.

Arita ware
Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many vessels that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.

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.
