Usuzumi Small Square Plate

Ryuji Mitani

• Introduction

  I am a Usuzumi Square Plate. What looks like hazy smoke is layers of brush strokes.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  This is a personal side plate, perfect for shared serving dishes or desserts at a dinner party. Pairing the plate with wooden cutlery like chopsticks or small wooden forks will make bringing bite-sized portions to your plate so much more enjoyable. Each plate is as unique as a painting.
