Harekutani Kutani Akae Cat Medium Plate

Product Description Charming yet sophisticated Kutani ware that instantly brightens up your everyday table. A relief plate from Harekutani, adorned with traditional red-painted designs. This piece evokes a sense of storytelling, featuring two cats nestled together in a circular embrace. It is a piece of tableware that blends the traditional Japanese craft of Kutani ware with a playful spirit and modern sensibility. A black cat and a soft red cat form a pair, their bodies delicately adorned with the red-painted designs unique to Kutani ware. Red-painted decoration is a technique in which artisans meticulously apply each stroke by hand, using deep red as the base. Its intricate detail and vibrant beauty have the power to captivate the viewer. The circular composition evokes a sense of harmony and connection, and combined with the beauty of the negative space, it embodies warmth within a sense of tranquility. The rim of the plate features a gently undulating “relief” design. Simply placing a few sweets or pieces of fruit on it instantly transforms it into a plate that looks straight out of a café. This special piece adds subtle color and a story to your daily life, soothing your heart every time you use it.
