Owner's Comment

This plate is inspired by a famous piece from Ogata Kenzan, a celebrated ceramic artist of the Edo period.

The full bloom of cherry blossoms across the surface brings a festive and joyful feel to the piece.

It’s just the right size for a light meal—perfect for serving bread, fruit, cheese, or breakfast with a seasonal flourish.
