KOMON Pasta Plate Set (5 pieces)
KOMON Pasta Plate Set – A Modern Tribute to Japan’s Most Beloved Patterns
The KOMON Pasta Plate Set brings cultural richness and modern simplicity to your table. Included are five porcelain plates, each measuring approximately 9.25 inches in diameter and 1 inch high (235 × 25 mm), and uniquely decorated with a traditional Japanese komon pattern. With their gentle curves and smooth finishes, these plates create an inviting presentation for pasta, salad, or Japanese cuisine.
These age-old motifs—like the protective asanoha (hemp leaf), auspicious seigaiha (blue waves), and joyful mame-shibori (bean dots)—have been reinterpreted in a modern black-and-white color scheme. Their meanings span themes of vitality, peace, marital harmony, and celebration, making every piece in the set a conversation starter. Each plate's decoration reflects craftsmanship rooted in Japan, where artisan techniques are honed over generations, ensuring an authentic touch to your dining experience.
A soft, water-repellent glaze gives each plate a subtle three-dimensional texture, allowing for easy cleaning and practicality for daily use. Packaged in a refined die-cut gift box, the set appeals to design-conscious hosts and lovers of Japanese craftsmanship alike. This set seamlessly connects the beauty of daily life with Japanese tradition—bringing intention to every meal you serve.
The Symbolism Behind Each Plate
Every plate in the KOMON set is more than just a vessel—it’s a story passed down through generations, etched in porcelain, celebrating craftsmanship and artistry.

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.
