*Sales price has changed due to price revision. (November 2022) Elegant appearance A 5-inch plate that brightens up your dining table. Images are for illustrative purposes only. The Old Imari style design was called "Old Imari" and was loved by European royalty and aristocrats. It is decorated with rich colors and a gorgeous silver pattern on top of the colored painting. Although it expresses traditional patterns, the unique coloring gives it a somewhat oriental feel. For everyday dining and celebrations The smooth texture of the pottery is just the right size that you'll want to use. We shared some fried chicken and salad from the large platter we all gathered around. It's very convenient to use as a bowl for one person, and to serve assorted sashimi and appetizers. It also looks great on top of Western sweets, such as shortcake with strawberries on top. The utensils are decorated with auspicious classical patterns and are useful for celebratory occasions such as birthdays and longevity.

About the style and atmosphere The kotohogu series of pottery is gorgeously painted in bright colors. In ancient Japan, expressing words of congratulation was called "kotohogu". This is a beautiful Japanese word that has been passed down from ancient times, wishing that the other person's happiness and longevity will come true. These containers are filled with such feelings and are useful not only for everyday use, but also as gifts for loved ones. The black spots that appear on the silver part are one of the characteristics of platinum-plated pottery. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same. ■You can also view Rinkurou Kiln's items here.Rinkurou kiln list page ■You can also view Hasami ware here.Hasami ware list page Rinkurou Kiln This kiln was built in Hasami in 1983.
