Old Imari Akadami Phoenix Fan-shaped Dinner Plate

This stunning fan-shaped dinner plate features a modern interpretation of classic old Imari patterns.

Modeled after an open folding fan, it has gentle undulations along the surface and black-lined illustrations mimicking wooden frames.

A mythical phoenix, with a golden and scarlet tail, is elegantly depicted among traditional Japanese motifs such as chrysanthemums, peonies, and pine trees—all arranged in circular patterns outlined in blue.

Perfect for serving tempura or appetizers, this plate is especially fitting for celebratory occasions like a Japanese New Year’s meal.

Its exquisite design also makes it ideal for display in a living room or entrance, where it can be appreciated as a decorative piece.

Rinkuro Kiln

Rinkuro Kiln was established in 1968 in Hasami Pottery, a pottery production area with 400 years of tradition. It was created with the aim of creating unique style and high quality pottery.

They continue to produce products with their unique sensibility, such as sometsuke blue and white ceramics, the opulent old Imari style, and somenishiki, a perfect balance of sometsuke and red-patterned akae. In recent years, they have been working hard to create tableware that meets the needs of both the Japanese and Western styles, and their creative activities are in tune with the times.

Hasami ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic produced in Hasami Town, often called the "Town of Pottery," located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu. For over 400 years, it has been cherished as durable and practical tableware for everyday use.

It is known for its vibrant hand-painted designs on a pure white porcelain base—an iconic feature of Japanese porcelain. While Hasami ware continues to honor traditional patterns, artisans are constantly creating new designs that suit contemporary lifestyles, blending timeless beauty with modern functionality.
