Let each plate tell a story—this five-piece set features floral designs by contemporary Kutani artists, rich in expression and individuality. Each piece faithfully reproduces the fine detail and vibrant color of hand-painted overglaze enamel through advanced transfer printing techniques.

From vivid primaries to soft pastels, this set showcases various floral designs, each rooted in a unique vision. While unified by a common theme, the plates differ in composition, mood, and expression. The descriptions below include the name of each piece alongside the artist, offering insight into the inspiration behind their designs.

Plum Frame and Bird – Sakurai Chie
A plum blossom-shaped frame encloses cheerful patterns. A small bird at the center adds a delicate and playful accent.

Vivid Icchin Bloom – Aikawa Shiho
A bold floral composition that captures the look of icchin—a slip trail technique used to create raised lines. The vivid colors and crisp detailing give the piece a lively, textured feel.

Flower and Rabbit – Kawai Takatomo
A joyful composition filled with finely drawn flowers and leaves. Hidden rabbits and birds invite a closer look, adding charm and whimsy.

Red Ancient Bloom – Tamura Seito
A large floral motif framed by karakusa (arabesque) and kanoko (fawn-spot) patterns. Fine red linework and soft vermilion tones evoke the quiet beauty of a classical garden.

Checkered Sakura – Tanaka Yuki
Cherry blossoms are arranged in a traditional ichimatsu (checkered) pattern. Soft hues lend the design a calm atmosphere, symbolizing prosperity.

Whether used for sweets, side dishes, or displayed as small works of art, these plates are both practical and expressive. Thoughtfully boxed, they make a lovely gift—and a wonderful introduction to the beauty and variety of Kutani ware.
