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 9.2in square plate features the classic Ichimatsu pattern, composed of alternating indigo-and-white squares in a checkerboard layout.
Long cherished in Japan as a symbol of good fortune and continuity, this timeless motif is loved by people of all ages.
Each pattern is hand-painted, with subtle variations in shading that give every plate a slightly different expression—adding to its handcrafted charm.
The generously sized square shape is perfect for plating a full meal for one person or serving main dishes in style.
With its universally appealing design and practical size, this plate is a beautiful way to add a touch of elegance to your everyday table.
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.
