This refined set of small ceramic plates represents the beauty and craftsmanship of 赤津焼（Akazu-yaki）, one of the oldest pottery traditions in Japan. Produced in the Akazu district of Seto, Aichi Prefecture, Akazu-yaki is known for its long history—spanning over a thousand years—as well as its diverse glazing techniques, earthy textures, and deep connection to the heritage of Seto-yaki, one of the “Six Ancient Kilns of Japan” (日本六古窯). Akazu ware is especially admired for its mastery of traditional glazes (such as ash glaze, feldspar glaze, iron glaze, and Oribe-style green) and its harmonious balance of color and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted by the ceramic artist 翠泉 (Suisen), this set beautifully embodies those qualities. Suisen’s work is known for its clean forms, expressive glazing, and the ability to blend tradition with a fresh modern sensibility. The artist’s signature can be found on the original wooden box, attesting to the authenticity of the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach plate features a striking ginkgo leaf motif (銀杏文)—symbolizing longevity, resilience, and good fortune—rendered in a radiant yellow against a richly layered turquoise background. Gentle raised lines divide the surface into panels, giving the plates a subtle sculptural character. The glossy crackle glaze (貫入) adds further depth and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 12 x 12 x 1.5cm (Plate)\u003cbr\u003e27 x 14 x 5.5cm (Box)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55953691279691,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_ec2eec24-737e-4da0-bdd4-b7f43489da20.jpg?v=1763754277","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/tb121-ginkgo-motif-small-plate-set-by-suisen-%e8%b5%a4%e6%b4%a5%e7%84%bc-%e7%bf%a0%e6%b3%89","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
