Wagashi Day, a celebration of Japan's exquisite traditional sweets, is the perfect occasion to indulge in delicate flavors that enhance any gathering. Enjoy these crafted wagashi with the beauty of celadon ware from Hataman Touen's Moist series. The delicate combination of taste and aesthetics promises a memorable experience, adding joy and relaxation to this special day.

The tranquil light blue of celadon can be matched with the unexpected choice of black for a striking summer table decor. In a season when we envision cool colors and bright table settings, it may not seem the most intuitive time to incorporate tableware in deep tones, but adding glossy black accents on a clean celadon base can create an impressive balance that is both visually impactful and refreshingly contemporary.

From the delicately designed Arita porcelain to the durable functionality of Tobe ware, the world of Japanese plates offers a rich tapestry of options. Each one carries its own unique history and aesthetic value. It's not merely about shape or material; it's also about the stories these plates tell and the essence of Japanese culture that is infused in every crafted piece.
