The smallest in the Twisted Plum series by Kouringama, this sauce plate may be diminutive in size but holds a strong presence on the table. Crafted from milky white porcelain and shaped into an abstract plum blossom, its curved silhouette is outlined in graceful hand-painted indigo. Designed for soy sauce, dipping oils, or a pinch of salt, it transforms even the most utilitarian moments of dining into something quietly refined. A hallmark of Hasami ware, its lightness and durability make it a joy to use daily, while the sculptural detail adds a poetic touch to any table setting. Whether paired with minimalist wares or layered with complementary pieces, it brings harmony through subtle contrast. Each plate is cast and finished with care, reflecting Kouringama’s sensitivity to form, balance, and modern expression.

The Twisted Plum Plate comes in five sizes, each sold individually and thoughtfully designed for different uses:

Large Plate (24cm / 9.4in) – Perfect for serving as a main dish or for sharing.

Salad Plate (21cm / 8.3in) – Perfect for salads, pasta, or generous side servings.

Meet the Artisan

Kouringama

Founded in 1987 by ceramic artist Kazumitsu Ezoe, Kouringama is a Hasami ware kiln rooted in the quiet hills of Nagasaki. Drawing on years of training in Kyo ware and Seto ware, Ezoe established his own path—one defined by pure white porcelain and intricate cobalt brushwork. Every motif is painted by hand, without stamps or transfers, and even the kiln’s signature is handwritten beneath each piece.

Kouringama's porcelain speaks in subtle tones: transparent whites, deep blues, and delicate forms that echo Japan’s shifting seasons. From cherry blossoms in spring to maple leaves in autumn, the kiln’s pieces reflect the moods of nature and the rhythms of the table.

Trusted by discerning chefs and restaurants throughout Japan, these vessels are designed not for display, but for presence—for carrying flavor, memory, and beauty into everyday life.
