I was finally able to buy the plates I'd long admired. They're absolutely lovely. They work for both Japanese and Western food, and I really love the cherry blossoms that are Master Obata's signature work, so I'm delighted!! (Translated from the original Japanese review)

There's a good balance between the white porcelain and the painted design. It's fun arranging food while making good use of the empty space. (Translated from the original Japanese review)

I sent these as a wedding gift. I've previously bought yunomi with the same pattern too. The beautiful cherry blossoms painted across the whole plate are apparently hand-painted, which truly amazes me. An elegant, high-quality piece. (Translated from the original Japanese review)
