This Kutani square sauce plate is adorned with a playful design of a humorous "Hyottoko." 

Hyottoko is known for his distinctive facial features, which include big bulging eyes, and a skewed mouth. He is typically depicted as a clumsy and comical figure, bringing laughter to those who see his face. 

This sauce plate is well-suited for everyday use and for serving guests when enjoying Japanese cuisine. It is the perfect size for soy sauce and condiments, and a wonderful item to set small sweets along side a cup of hot green tea. Enjoy collecting these small plates as they come in various designs.
