He also goes to the kiln factory to discuss with the craftsmen and guide the painting techniques. Each piece is hand-finished using the superb skills of Arita Kiln's professional workers. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53988424107_0d14f31569.jpg **Chrysanthemum painted four-sided small dish** The surface of the plate is full of charming style like blooming flowers. The slightly deep plate can be used to hold side dishes and snacks with a little sauce and soup. Subverting the complex composition of traditional chrysanthemum painting, the smooth and free brushstrokes on the edge of the plate outline the vivid and beautiful feeling of chrysanthemums. Paired with the simple white glaze with faint iron gray dots, it perfectly sets off its graceful and delicate texture; Oka Shingo deliberately retains the traces of hand-glazing, and the natural touch is addictive. The length and width are 10.5cm, which is very suitable for serving Japanese side dishes, such as edamame, umeboshi and other side dishes. It can also be used to hold sauces, snacks and snacks. It is a beautiful vessel that is both practical and elegant. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53989746570_e4b42db140_o.jpg **Since the original Japanese factory does not provide an outer box for this product, it will be packed with bubble wrap when shipped.
