Japanese Rimpa Style Gold Plum Blossom Small Plate - Ogata Korin Inspired Mamezara - Mid-Century Modern Japanese Ceramic - Sold Individually

Bring the timeless beauty of the Edo period to your home with these exquisite "Mamezara" (small appetizer plates). Each plate is a tribute to the Rimpa school, specifically the master Ogata Kōrin. The design features a striking contrast between a shimmering gold-textured background and the bold, stylized "Kōrin Waves" paired with delicate red and white plum blossoms (Ume).

​Signature Style: The "Kōrin-style" plum and water flow represent the arrival of spring and are considered highly auspicious in Japanese culture.

​Craftsmanship: The plates feature a matte gold finish with a textured feel. The underside is finished in a sophisticated metallic black-charcoal glaze, signed with the maker's mark: Sho-yu (翔優作).

​Versatility: Perfectly sized for jewelry, tea bags, small desserts (wagashi), or as a stunning decorative accent.
