Whale Motif Plate – Kikyo-Rim 4-inch

A piece that evokes the gentle breath of the ocean, with a whale delicately depicted as if emerging from the depths, using soft and rich shades of indigo.
With over 400 years of history, the traditional painting techniques bring out a watercolor-like softness and depth in the whale’s form.
Though compact at four inches (approximately 12 cm), the plate carries a strong sense of presence.
The unique shading technique and the thin, lightweight white porcelain characteristic of Mikawachi ware harmonize beautifully with both Japanese and Western dining settings.
