Flying Bird Diamond Shaped Side Plate

This is a side plate with vibrant colors, featuring hand-painted images that leave a lasting impression and evoke a soft, comforting atmosphere.

The unique silhouette of this plate is called hishigata in Japanese, inspired by the leaves of the diamond-shaped plant called "hishi." It is known for its robust vitality, has been favored as a symbol of healing and a strong life force.

This shape is also associated with warding off evil, serving as a shield that repels malevolent forces and, with its pointed edges, is believed to be an even stronger protective charm.

Additionally, the central bird motif not only adds cuteness but also represents good luck. It originates from a play on words between the Japanese word for "bird" (tori) and "to take in" (torikomu), symbolizing the act of attracting good fortune and positive things.

While the concepts behind it can be powerful, the plate itself takes on a gentle form reminiscent of a plant's soft curves. Moreover, the hand-painted design adds a sense of warmth and exudes the craftsmanship and devotion inserted in each unique piece.
