Arita is Japan's oldest and most widely exported ceramic tradition, developed in the early 17th century. The Musubi (結び) series takes its name from the Japanese art of mizuhiki knotting, where paper cords are tied into specific patterns for gifts and ceremonies. Each knot shape carries a precise meaning, and the lines on each plate are drawn by hand. The Kichijo Musubi (吉祥結び) on this small plate expresses a wish for good health and happiness. It appears in raised relief with gold overglaze on Arita's characteristic bright white porcelain: the relief gives the knot a physical presence that flat decoration cannot, and the gold sits within the raised lines rather than on top of them. At 10.5cm wide, it suits wagashi, condiments, a small arrangement of pickles, or as a tray for placing small objects at the table. Used alongside the larger Musubi plates or the six-plate set, it brings a coherent and quietly festive quality to the table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taseigama 田清窯","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52928495550807,"sku":"PLT-CER-ARI-TAS-001-","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9328\/9303\/files\/DSC04826.jpg?v=1777217380"},{"product_id":"arita-ware-fortune-main-plate-red","title":"Hand-painted Arita ware \"Musubi\" knot of good fortune red main plate","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Arita-yaki (有田焼), Saga Prefecture; by Taseigama (田清窯), producing Arita ware since 1956\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Kichijo Musubi (吉祥結び): symbolises a wish for good health and happiness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Bold red enamel with gold on white porcelain; 21cm wide; hand-drawn lines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed in Japanese ceramic tradition is the colour of celebration: good fortune invited in, a meal that is meant to feel like an occasion.
