This gorgeous, auspicious small plate has been carefully crafted at Seikogama, a famous kiln in Ishikawa Prefecture that is known for its Kutani ware.
The "Kissho Lucky Small Plate Collection" features friendly designs based on auspicious motifs. Not only will they add color to your daily dining table, but they also make wonderful gifts.
This "Shika Momiji" (Deer and Autumn Leaves) depicts three deer amongst fluttering autumn leaves.
"Deep in the mountains, stepping through the autumn leaves, I hear the cries of the deer - autumn is saddening," is a poem that appears in the Kokin Wakashu (Collection of Poems) from the Heian period, and autumn leaves and deer are associated with autumn, so they have become established as a good combination (seasonal word). Deer are also considered messengers of the gods, and in some areas they are carefully protected.
Small plates bring color and fun into your life, making it richer.
These convenient plates can be used as small or serving plates to serve snacks or side dishes, or as soy sauce or condiment dishes, creating a vibrant and colorful dining table.
The glazes developed exclusively by Seikogama Kiln create a beautiful finish with translucence and depth. Advanced transfer technology allows us to achieve high quality at an affordable price.
We highly recommend pairing it with a sake cup with the same design.
We also have a collection of other fun auspicious patterns, so be sure to check them out as well.
