This sauce plate features a shishi. Shishi is an imaginary creature that resembles a lion. It is believe to have the power to ward off evil.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate, it is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small food. You may also serve small portions of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.

Each piece is uniquely hand-painted by a dedicated artisan of Kutani ware, making the texture of the plate warm and appealing.
It is a great gift to yourself or for your loved ones.
