Radiating Shinogi Pattern Mino Deep Side Plate

The Radiating Shinogi Pattern Mino Deep Side Plate features a striking design of fine, radial grooves (shinogi) that emanate from the center to the rim. Available in three elegant colors - navy, gray, and white - each plate showcases a subtle kiln transformation glaze that adds depth and complexity to its appearance.

This plate exemplifies the Mino ware tradition, renowned for its innovative techniques and aesthetic appeal. The shinogi pattern, created through precise carving, is a testament to the skill of Japanese artisans. The kiln transformation technique (yohen) produces unique color variations in each piece: deep, lustrous tones in the navy version; complex, greenish-gray hues with hints of yellow and brown in the gray; and a warm, beige-like finish in the white variant.

Versatile in its applications, this deep side plate is ideal for serving main dishes, pasta, curry, or pilaf. Its elegant design makes it suitable for both casual dining and formal occasions. The plate's aesthetic appeal also allows it to function as a decorative piece, adding a touch of Japanese craftsmanship to any table setting or display. Its fusion of traditional techniques with modern design makes it appealing to those who appreciate both cultural heritage and contemporary style in their tableware.
