Kinsai Camellia Platter

Red and white camellias bloom across this oval platter, creating a sense of brightness and presence. The design draws inspiration from a motif cherished by the legendary gastronome and ceramicist Kitaoji Rosanjin. Camellia is a motif frequently explored at Zoho Kiln, where reinterpretations of Rosanjins work are approached with assured craftsmanship.

The gently undulating rim and generous sweeps of gold lend an elegant radiance to the surface, catching the light with refined brilliance.

The camellia, which retains its leaves even in winter, has long symbolized longevity in Japan.

Versatile in form, this platter complements everything from sashimi and grilled fish to an assortment of desserts.
