Porcelain Flower Shaped Plate by Bunkichi Gama, Kutani Ware

These plates are recommended not only for use in a day to day life, but also as a special gift, very special!

Shonzui means "a beautiful propitious sign", so the patterns are often auspicious motifs and are always combined with continuous geometric patterns. This Shonzui plate also features a series of traditional geometric patterns and drawings of plum and pine trees which are both considered auspicious trees in Japan.

The “Rakuyoumon” pattern is inspired by ornaments originally worn by the wealthy in India. Craftsmen carefully hand-drawn this plate with that Rakuyoumon pattern. The longer you use this peiace, the more you will be into it by its beauty. 

Both patterns are very suitable on the table setting for celebrating things such as the New Year's day.
