Why You’ll Love It
Five patterns, one beautifully coordinated set — each plate has its own Brush Blue motif while sharing the same indigo-and-white palette.
Made in Gifu, home of Mino ware — one of Japan's great ceramic-producing regions.
Designed around Japanese food presentation — the long 10.8 in shape leaves space for sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, and small compositions.
Blue that makes food stand out — the expressive indigo patterns provide a quiet backdrop for colorful ingredients.
Made for everyday use — durable porcelain that is microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
The Brush Blue Sushi Plate Set brings together artistry, function, and thoughtful design. This five-piece set, crafted in Japan from fine porcelain by Awasaka, features expressive indigo patterns with the softly irregular character of Japanese tableware. Each one is unique in tone and brushstroke. From the rhythmic dots of Tenda to the flowing vines of Karakusa and the layered circles of Momomaru, each motif adds quiet charm to your table.
Measuring 10.8 × 4.3 × 1 inches (275 × 110 × 25 mm), these elongated plates are ideal for arranging sushi, grilled fish, hors d’oeuvres, or even pastries. The blue-and-white palette not only calms the eye but also enhances your food's colors, making every dish feel more refined. Whether used as a coordinated set or paired with other Brush Blue pieces, they elevate everyday dining with ease.
Balanced between heritage and versatility, this hand-painted set transitions effortlessly between Japanese and Western-style meals. Its thoughtful form and timeless design make it an essential for those who value aesthetics as much as practicality at the table.

FAQs
All you need to know about Japanese Pottery.
What types of traditional pottery are made in Japan?
Japan is home to several renowned pottery styles, including Mino ware (Gifu), Bizen ware (Okayama), Arita and Imari ware (Saga), Shigaraki ware (Shiga), and Mashiko ware (Tochigi). Each region has its own distinct materials, glazes, and firing techniques that reflect local history and aesthetics. Toki City in Gifu Prefecture is particularly renowned as the heart of Mino ware (Minoyaki)—the most widely produced pottery style in Japan.
What materials are used in artisan Japanese pottery?
Most artisan pottery in Japan is made from locally sourced clay, often mixed and refined by hand. Natural minerals and ash are used in glazes, and many pieces are wood-fired or fired in traditional climbing kilns (noborigama), producing unique surface textures and natural variations.
Are artisan Japanese pottery pieces safe for food use?
Yes. Authentic artisan pottery is made with food-safe, lead-free glazes and is carefully fired at high temperatures to ensure durability and safety. However, it's important to follow care instructions, especially for unglazed or porous ceramics.
What makes Japanese pottery different from Western ceramics?
Japanese pottery often emphasizes wabi-sabi—the beauty of imperfection—resulting in organic shapes, subtle asymmetry, and natural glazes. Unlike Western ceramics, which may prioritize uniformity, Japanese pieces often celebrate the individuality of each item, reflecting the artist's hand and the firing process.
How should I care for artisan-made Japanese pottery?
Hand-wash pottery with mild soap and avoid extreme temperature changes (like placing hot items into cold water). Some unglazed pieces may absorb moisture, so allow them to fully dry before storing. Avoid microwaves or dishwashers unless the piece is specifically labeled as safe for such use.
