This is a large, blue-and-white porcelain plate featuring auspicious motifs: cranes, turtles, pine trees, and a treasure ship. It has a classic and vibrant design, reminiscent of those used in local sushi restaurants during the Showa era. The "medeta-zukushi" (auspicious symbols) design, rarely seen nowadays, evokes a sense of nostalgia and the atmosphere of that time. Perfect for serving Kochi Prefecture's specialty, "sawachi" cuisine, as an hors d'oeuvre platter for family gatherings during the holidays, or as a centerpiece for large family meals. Its size and presence are ideal for Showa-era banquets, rural tatami rooms, and family dining tables during homecoming. It's a vessel for hospitality that naturally brings such scenes to mind. It can also be used as a decorative plate, adding a Showa-retro touch to any space. It has a foot on the reverse side. - Diameter: Approximately 37cm - Height: Approximately 4cm - Weight: Approximately 1.4kg *Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing.
