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.
This gourd-shaped plate is a small yet meaningful item—perfect for gifts or hospitality, with its auspicious “Enmusubi” (tied-fate) motif symbolizing connection and harmony.
Designed with usability in mind, it’s ideal for serving condiments, small delicacies, or side dishes in various everyday dining situations.
The calm indigo pattern is carefully hand-painted on bluish-white porcelain, enhancing the appearance of any dish with quiet elegance.
Its rounded gourd silhouette adds a touch of charm, making it a delightful addition to your table that brings both beauty and good fortune into your daily life.
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.
