Old Imari Chrysanthemum Dinner Plate

This is a gorgeous large plate with a “chrysanthemum split” design in old Imari style. The lines extend from the outside to the center and are decorated with different traditional patterns.” Each has its own meaning, such as “seigaiha,” “shigebishi,” and “zuiun.”

“Seigaiha” (blue ocean waves) – a symbol of prosperity. 

“Shigebishi” (dense diamonds) – originally a shape of a plant called “hishi”. It means “good health” due to its high fertility and nutritional value.

“Zuiun(auspicious clouds)” – a symbol of good omens for good things to come.

Perfect for complementing your everyday meal, as well as a special gift for someone who loves Japanese arts and crafts.

It is a good size to use as a main plate with meat or fish on it.
