This beautiful flower shaped large plate is from the RYOUKA series of Usukiyaki. The lotus petal design, characteristic of Usuki ware, enhances the food as if it were a picture frame. The area around Usuki City is known for its beautiful lotus flowers. The wavy rim cast shadows on the plate and table, creating a beautiful look.

This versatile size is ideal for serving appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, bread, cake, fruit, etc.

Usukiyaki is produced using a technique called "Katauchi" (molding). The sheet-shaped-clay is placed on a plaster mold, and is shaped with the fingers including each petal. This process gives the work a handmade feel that cannot be achieved through mass production, and gives it a stoneware-like appearance even though it is a porcelain piece.

RYOUKA Series
This series was inspired by dignified flowers such as lotus, cherry blossoms, and Kousa dogwood that bloom in the fields and mountains of Usuki in Oita, which is rich in nature.

Since all products are made by hand, there may be individual differences in shape and color.
We hope you will enjoy them as the warmth of handmade products.
