Hachi-Kutani Takara-Zukushi Kutani Sauce Plate
While Kutani Ware is loved for its vibrant colors, the hachi-kutani series features sauce plates all in white. They are made at Seikou Kiln. Seikou Kiln researched Japanese overglaze paint of Kutani ware for years. Thick overglaze paint with traditional Japanese paints is the same quality as hand paint and brings out a sense of luxury. The porcelain is painted with an elegant traditional pattern, inspired by the snow of Hakusan (Mt. Hakusan), and is trimmed with a rusty brown finish.
The porcelain is painted with an elegant traditional pattern all in white, decorated with a pattern called “takara-zukushi”(treasure collection.) “Zukushi”, meaning “full of” is an expression often used to call patterns that contain a collection of similarly-themed motifs. Takara-zukushi refers to auspicious patterns with various treasures, or lucky charms including uchideno kozuchi(magic hummer), Choji(cloves), Fundou(weights), Kinchaku(treasure pouch), Makijiku(scroll), Kakuremino(magic cloak), Kakure-gasa(magic umbrella), Hojyu(treasure ball) and so forth.
This small plate can be used for sauce, condiments, pickles, jam, cookies and other small items such as accessories. It has a beautiful and simple design that matches any item. There are eight different patterns in total, so you can choose your favorite one or use different patterns with your family.
