A simply stunning plate with finely detailed traditional patterns in various shades of red decorated with gold.
Akae, or "red painting," is one of the classic techniques of Kutani Ware. Detailed patterns with differing shades of a red pigment are added to the Kutani ware that fully cover the surface of the item.
To add to the beauty of the elegant akae is the gold. Styles in which the background is painted in red and then filled in with gold is called kinrande, which is one of the most popular styles of Akae. This enhances the intricate patterns and texture of the plate. The windmill pattern gives movement to the total design and gives the plate a contemporary and stylish look.
The slightly curved design makes it easy to plate any kind of dish, even those with a slight sauce. The plate has a diameter of 29cm (11 in) and is large enough to work well as a main plate for a meal of 3 to 4 people.

Maker / Brand
Founded in the early Taisho era (1912 CE–1926 CE) in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Seikou Kiln has long been dedicated to the art of Japanese overglaze painting for Kutani ware. Through years of research, Seikou Kiln perfected a high-quality technique to transfer designs and patterns using printed sheets, all created in-house. This method captures the same level of transparency in glassy glazes and the depth of thick overglaze paints as traditional hand-painting. Their work has earned prestigious awards, such as the Japan Tourism Agency's Charming Japanese Souvenir Contest.
Origin
Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.

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 in are the most practical. On the other hand, when serving a one-plate dinner or pasta, plates around 25 cm (10 in) are more convenient.
Kinrande
Introducing a tableware collection inspired by Kinrande style, which itself draws inspiration from old Imari ware. The Kinrande style of Imari ware gained immense popularity as export items between the 18th and 19th centuries. Large vases and plate sets were crafted especially for European royalty and nobility, and these pieces were highly valued as elegant and beautiful additions to their palaces.
The collection features luxurious gold accents, deep shades of red, and elegant blues. Many designs are densely packed with intricate patterns set within balanced, symmetrical compositions. Floral motifs, particularly those of peonies and chrysanthemums, frequently appear. Additionally, mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes are prominently depicted, symbolizing power and rebirth, respectively, and adding an auspicious touch to these extravagant ceramics.
