White Slip-Glazed Divided Rectangular Plate

This is Mino ware tableware.

It is a long rectangular plate with very little depth, making it especially suitable for rice-based dishes like sushi and rolled sushi.

The design is striking, with a single bold line, resembling a lightning bolt, drawn powerfully against a simple white background.

Please note that the appearance and texture may vary slightly from item to item. Thank you for your understanding.

Mino ware is a type of pottery that began during the Momoyama period and is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It flourished alongside the rise of the tea ceremony and was especially favored by tea masters during the birth of Japan’s wabi-sabi aesthetic. Notable styles of Mino ware include the refined pale yellow Kizeto, the lustrous jet-black Setoguro, the soft milky-white Shino ware, and the uniquely green Oribe ware, all known for their distinctive beauty. Today, Mino ware accounts for over half of all porcelain tableware produced in Japan.
