Plate Gold-painted dragon x cloud plate | Naoko Yoshimura

Scraping technique

The technique used is to apply a layer of clay to the surface of the ceramics and then scrape the pattern into it with a needle-like tool . This is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but it results in a warm and unique texture.

A touching Japanese charm

The colors, shapes, and patterns are somehow nostalgic, and just looking at them has a mysterious charm that soothes the soul. The indigo color, like ink, and the patterns of animals, plants, and flowers that come out of picture books of Japanese folk tales make you feel comfortable.

A combination of "stillness" and "movement"

The powerful and beautiful gold-painted dragon and cloud design is so captivating that you will be drawn in when you look at it . The delicate yet boldly scraped pattern exudes a unique presence.

For everyday use and special occasions

The elegant and splendid appearance of the plate makes it suitable for everyday use as well as special occasions such as New Year's Day, Hinamatsuri, and Children's Day. Whatever you serve on it, be it side dishes, sweets, or desserts, it will make you feel special.

Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, weight, uneven glaze, glaze pools, shrinkage, and subtle differences in patterns and designs. In addition, there may be differences in the amount of glaze applied, light and dark patterns due to the scraping technique, pinholes, iron powder (black spots), blotches, and stone chips, but these do not affect the use of the product. Please enjoy the unique expressions that can only be achieved by handmade products. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to receiving it. If you are interested, please contact us before shipping and we will email you a photo separately.
