Old Imari Chrysanthemum Side Plate
This is a gorgeous Japanese plate with a “chrysanthemum split” design in the old Imari style. The lines extend from the outside to the center and are decorated with different traditional patterns.” Each has its own meaning, such as “seigaiha,” “shigebishi,” and “zuiun.”
“Seigaiha” (blue ocean waves) – a symbol of prosperity.
“Shigebishi” (dense diamonds) – originally a shape of a plant called “hishi.” It means “good health” due to its high fertility and nutritional value.
“Zuiun” (auspicious clouds) – a symbol of good omens for good things to come.
Perfect for complementing your everyday meal, as well as a special gift for someone who loves Japanese arts and crafts.
It is a great size as an extra plate for serving side dishes and desserts.
