Elegant appearance
A small plate that brightens up your dining table. 
The beautiful ``iroe'' technique, which was created about 30 years after Arita ware was created, is used. The auspicious patterns of plums and chrysanthemums are elaborately expressed while leaving blank spaces on the white background. Even the back side is painted, making it a masterpiece that gives you a sense of the elaborate attention to detail. 
For everyday dining and celebrations
A small plate that is useful for putting soy sauce, sauce, and condiments on top. Perfect for serving chopstick rests such as pickles. It's the perfect size for a sweets plate, and would be great if you put Rakugan or small Japanese sweets on it. 
The auspicious plum and chrysanthemum pattern is also useful for celebrations such as New Year's and longevity. They can also be stacked, so you can keep several plates for your family or guests.

| Recommended maintenance by the pottery | ・When cleaning, please pay close attention to the label of the detergent etc. . Please be especially careful with products that use gold, silver, platinum, etc., as vigorous cleaning with polishing agents, cleansers, metals, and hard scrubbing brushes may cause scratches and peeling. ・Products that use silver for overglaze will "darken" due to oxygen in the air, but will return to their original silver color with silver polishing agent, etc. Also, do not use bleach. ・After using the container, wash it as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・Products with overpainting on the inside cannot be used as storage containers other than for daily use such as "vinegared dishes" . ・Due to the nature of cracked products, they leave behind traces of soy sauce and soup. Please understand this before using. ・Although the high ground (bottom of the pot) is all polished , please be careful not to scratch other materials. Also, it will be safer if you use padding when stacking the containers. ・Each piece is made by hand by craftsmen. Therefore, there may be individual differences in size, shape, color, pattern, etc. depending on firing and raw materials. ・We hope that you understand that the shading of colors, small paint skips, and distortions that are not harmful to use are due to the characteristics of the pottery. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
