Hasami Wave Children's Divided Plate
View ItemIt’s an exciting time when a baby starts eating. This Hasami Ware divided plate is decorated with cute animal designs that are popular with children, making mealtime more enjoyable. Some children may have many likes and dislikes. So, we would like moms out there to arrange the dining table with cute tableware and have children eat nutritious and well-balanced meals.
Each plate features three sections with raised edges to hold food to avoid mess. For babies who have just started weaning, it is a good idea to use a divided plate to help them visually recognize the different foods on the plate. Also, it comes in handy as it allows you to serve the entire meal on one plate and clean up easily. It can also be used in microwave ovens and dishwashers, making it convenient for busy mothers raising children.
Cups and rice bowls are also available in the same design. Your friend will definitely be appreciated when presented as a gift set together with the plate.
Hasami Ware Wave Series
View CollectionWe also recommend Hasami Ware small cups, hoping that a newborn baby will use authentic tableware and feel the texture of them from their younger age. The cup is sized for small hands and even without a handle, is easy to hold. The edges are smoothly rounded making the touch of the cup to the mouth comfortable and safe.
Oshin Kiln Pink Rabbit/ Blue Bear Series
View CollectionMany people are concerned that ceramic ware will inevitably break...so you should carefully check the durability and other factors when choosing ceramic ware as a gift. Hasami Ware is widely known among Japanese tableware as light, durable, and easy to use, and is often used in restaurants and homes. In addition, even if they break, it can be repaired using methods such as kintsugi (metal joints), so it can be used carefully for a long time. When purchasing a children's plate, be sure to choose one that is easy to wash. These products can be used in microwave ovens and dishwashers.
In addition to the cup, divide plates and rice bowls in the same design are also available, which would be a delightful gift if given as a set.

Arranging a baby shower gift wrapping with mizuhiki is also another idea to make your gift unique.
