The double fish pattern, which is often painted in famous Japanese kilns, has been used as a symbol of prosperity for descendants, as fish give birth to many children. Kitaoji Rosanjin, a gourmet and potter who thoroughly enjoyed cooking, also created a pair of fish dishes.
Rosanjin Kitaoji's vessels are interesting plates that are said to become more appealing the more you put food on them.

The food looks great

Miyamoto Taizando is a pottery that produces traditional colored porcelain in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, where Toshitsune Maeda, the third lord of the Kaga domain, retired.
Taizando Miyamoto, who learns and masters ancient techniques to create beautiful tableware that suits modern dining tables, has a stylish atmosphere with the three colors of blue, green, and yellow. It is a modern piece that looks like a Western plate.
The gently curved octagonal shape has a stylish shape, and it stands out even more when placed inside round tableware. It's the perfect size for serving sashimi for one person, and is easy to use as a serving plate. This is a double fish pattern Japanese plate that will add variety and glamor to a dining table with many round plates. The auspicious pattern makes a stylish gift, so it is also recommended as a wedding gift or baby shower gift.

Charm of Kutani ware

Miyamoto Taizando opened in 1909. Taizangama is located in Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, and produces pottery based on the themes of ``a fusion of tradition and modernity'' and ``wareware that is fun to use above all else'', focusing on colored porcelain, which is said to be the main tradition of Ko-Kutani. At the time of its founding, it was known as a Kutani ware store, but as Taizando has been passed down through three generations, Taizando was founded as a result of the search for ``what is a tableware that is fun to use?'' and ``a tableware that would be suitable for everyday dining.'' The hall has apparently been transformed into a pottery studio where original pottery is made.

While paying special attention to the plump and thick overlays of blue (green), purple, navy blue, and yellow that are unique to Kutani, the craftsmanship combines the concepts of "tradition and modernity" and "pottery that can be enjoyed and used" into a design that is easy to use. I put it all together and send it to my daily dining table.

Kutani ware is a traditional Japanese craft that is said to have spread to vessels for enjoying tea after learning ceramic techniques in Hizen Arita during the Edo period when the Maeda family, the lords of the Kaga domain, discovered potter's clay and began making porcelain. is. Its special feature is that it is easy to use as tableware and is pleasing to the eye by adding various patterns to the clear white base, and the coloring that stands out against the white background of the hard glassy material of porcelain is attractive.

Generally, Kutani ware is expressed using five colors (blue, yellow, dark blue, purple, and red), but Miyamoto Taizando counts the white color of the fabric as one color, and uses "six colors" for painting. I'm particular about it. Modern design that takes advantage of such blank spaces will become a vessel for living in modern lifestyles.
