SOUTA Kiln was founded in 1997 by Naoya Morokuma in Yamauchi Town, located next to Arita in Saga Prefecture.
While preserving the traditions of Arita ware, the kiln creates tableware designed to suit modern lifestyles.
Their pieces are beloved across generations for their gentle, hand-fitting forms and approachable reinterpretations of classical patterns.
The Mokko Hime Kozara is a small plate that’s perfect for many occasions—ideal for serving condiments, small appetizers, or delicacies during a quiet evening drink.
Its design features the classic Tokusa (brush-stroke grass) pattern, long loved by older generations for its refined simplicity.
Thanks to SOUTA Kiln’s unique touch, the pattern has been subtly modernized, making it appealing and approachable for younger users as well.
The plate’s timeless motif and convenient size make it a versatile piece, one that naturally adapts to the needs and style of each user.
Caution
As each piece is hand-painted, variations in shading and line thickness may occur. These are signs of its handmade character and uniqueness.
Wash gently using a mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive materials.
While dishwasher safe, please ensure delicate items are placed to avoid contact with harder tableware.
For plates with colored patterns or gold accents, avoid vigorous scrubbing, as it may cause fading.
