Iroe Shōchikubai — Tatsuya Mitsui’s World in a Single Plate

Tatsuya Mitsui builds his artistic universe on the foundations of classic Kokutani style, weaving together landscapes, birds-and-flowers motifs, and intricate decorative patterns. In “Iroe Shōchikubai,” finely detailed komon patterns radiate outward alongside pine, bamboo, and plum—traditional symbols of good fortune. The vivid overglaze enamels characteristic of Kutani ware shine throughout the composition, creating a plate that feels both richly traditional and visually dynamic.
