Mikawachi-yaki Fuchigumo-kin Yakishime Glossy Black Rectangular Plate 24cm

As a specialty tableware store, we proudly present a stunning piece where traditional Japanese techniques breathe new life into modern dining. Mikawachi ware has a history of creating offerings for the Imperial Court and Shogunate using advanced thinly carved and openwork techniques. This rectangular plate, crafted by the renowned Hirado Kasho Kiln, takes the essence of "yakishime," a style considered the origin of pottery, and elevates it to a breathtakingly modern aesthetic.

The Contrast of Serene "Glossy Black" and Elegant "Fuchigumokin"

The greatest charm of this plate lies in the luxurious texture of its "Yakishime Glossy Black," reminiscent of a cut-out from a jet-black night sky. Not entirely matte, yet with a subtle, fresh gloss, this black accentuates the colors of any food placed upon it with unparalleled vibrancy.

Furthermore, the rim of the plate is lavishly adorned with "Unmokin" (cloud mica gold), applied by skilled artisans. The abstract, cloud-like shimmer of gold brings an overwhelming sense of luxury and festive brilliance to the serene black. While smooth to the touch, it possesses a sophisticated, gloss-like quality, a testament to Hirado Kasho Kiln's advanced glaze expression.
