Unkin Maple & Cherry - Sushi Adorned with the Seasons -

Placing premium sushi on Unkin maple and cherry blossom pattern ceramics, which inherit the tradition of Kyoto ware master Ogata Kenzan, is a poetic act that expresses the changing seasons in a single dish. This ceramic features maple leaves, reminiscent of autumn foliage, and their vibrant colors further enhance the sushi ingredients. Furthermore, when the vessel is flipped, cherry blossoms symbolizing spring appear, designed to evoke both spring and autumn.

Ogata Kenzan's ceramics are characterized by their unrestrained painting and sophisticated yet rustic charm. Using them further enhances the delicate taste and visual beauty of sushi. In particular, this Kiyomizu ware vessel, crafted with Kyoto's historically profound techniques, embodies the sincerely inherited craftsmanship.

Throughout Kyoto's long history, Ogata Kenzan and his successors have shaped Japanese ceramics, constantly balancing innovation and tradition. This vessel embodies their deep philosophy and technique, and the sushi served with it transcends a mere meal, becoming an enjoyable experience.
