While Kutani Ware is loved for its vibrant colors, the hachi-kutani series features sauce plates all in white. Thick overglaze paint with traditional Japanese paints brings out a sense of luxury. The porcelain is painted with an elegant traditional pattern, inspired by the snow of Hakusan (Mt. Hakusan), and is trimmed with a rusty brown finish. 

The porcelain is painted with an elegant traditional pattern all in white, decorated with a pattern called takara-zukushi (treasure collection.) Zukushi, meaning “full of” is an expression often used to call patterns that contain a collection of similarly-themed motifs. Takara-zukushi refers to auspicious patterns with various treasures, or lucky charms including uchideno kozuchi (magic mallet), choji (cloves), fundo (weights), kinchaku (treasure pouch), makijiku (scroll), kakure-mino (magic cloak), kakure-gasa (magic umbrella), hojyu (treasure ball) and so forth.

This small plate can be used for sauce, condiments, pickles, and other small items such as accessories. It has a beautiful and simple design that matches any item. There are eight different patterns in total, so you can choose your favorite one or use different patterns with your family.
