Somenishiki Mt. Fuji Sauce Plate

This sauce plate features a refined pine, bamboo, and plum motif alongside an iconic depiction of Mount Fuji. In Japanese culture, pine, bamboo, and plum are regarded as auspicious symbols that herald both good fortune and longevity

The technique displayed in this plate is called somenishiki where the plate is first glazed with white and blue patterns and then is further decorated with detailed hand-painted drawings. 

The plate’s size is ideal for sauces, small bites of pickles, fruit, or desserts like wagashi. It’s an excellent choice for newcomers to Japanese tableware and for those looking to mix and match pieces.
