Grand Bleu Coop Dinner Plate

This category is for plates ranging from 21 cm (8.3 in) to 30. 9 cm (12.2 in). For traditional Japanese meals, plates around 8 inches are the most practical. On the other hand, when serving a one-plate dinner or pasta, plates around 25 cm (10 inches) are more convenient.

As a cool color, blue evokes feelings of calmness, nobility, coolness, and tranquility. It is highly suitable for use in a variety of everyday items especially in summer.
Blue is featured prominently in Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Mizu iro "pale aqua color," has been frequently used in summer kimonos since the Edo period (1603 CE - 1868 CE ). The color kon "navy blue," represented by indigo, conveys a sense of calm and sophistication and has been widely used in daily life.
You can find blue tablewares like sometsuke bowls and tea cups, the beautiful Tobe long plate and the elegant blue glaze Kutani vase all in Musubi Kiln.

In Japan, the unassuming dish takes on a life of its own, transcending its basic role of merely holding food to become an essential part of the culinary experience. Known in Japanese as "Sara," these are not just any plates; they are blank canvases for culinary artistry, crafted with as much precision and historical significance as the dishes they support. By carefully selecting a Sara that complements each dish, a synergistic effect is created that elevates both the food and the plate.

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.
