All of our products are all handmade and hand painted by Master Fujii Kinsai,
therefore each individual item are slightly different each other.
This decorative plate is a true masterpiece, crafted with meticulous care at every stage—from the initial wheel-throwing to the final hand-painting—infusing each individual piece with the artisan's soul. The background features a vibrant *Seigaiha* (blue ocean wave) pattern painted in red enamel; this design, depicting gentle, unending waves, embodies a wish for eternal peace and prosperity. Overlaid using the *Some-nishiki* technique (a combination of underglaze blue and overglaze enamels), the "Pine, Bamboo, and Plum" motif symbolizes longevity, nobility, and purity—a prestigious design that has graced celebratory occasions since ancient times.
Furthermore, the turtle—depicted with lavish gold and platinum accents—has long been cherished as a symbol of longevity, health, and family harmony, reflecting the proverb that "cranes live a thousand years, while turtles live ten thousand." The deep, lustrous sheen—achieved by firing platinum onto the 1,300°C-fired white porcelain at 800°C—exudes an elegance that remains undiminished by the passage of time.
By cherishing the meaning behind each traditional motif while pursuing a beauty that harmonizes with modern living, the artisan subtly breathes their heartfelt desire to enrich the viewer's time into the very essence of the piece.
Whether displayed in an alcove (*tokonoma*), entryway, reception room, or living area, this plate lends a dignified splendor to the space, allowing you to experience the profound depth and beauty of Japanese traditional craftsmanship. Its auspicious design and elegant presence make it a delightful gift for loved ones, as well as a highly acclaimed masterpiece for sharing the allure of Japanese culture with international recipients.
We invite you to add this work—a crystallization of techniques and aesthetic sensibilities honed over a long history, combined with the artisan's sincere dedication—to your collection of fine art.
