The Mikawachi Ware Large Plate Set (7-Sun Cherry Blossom & Elephant) is a collection of three porcelain platters crafted by Hirado Shouzan Kiln in Nagasaki, Japan. Each plate is painted in the signature blue-and-white style of Mikawachi ware, known for its fine porcelain body, delicate brushwork, and timeless motifs.

This set blends traditional Japanese patterns with auspicious symbols. The plates feature:

1. Seigaiha (blue ocean wave pattern) - a design representing peace, eternity, and resilience.

2. Cherry blossoms (sakura) - symbols of beauty, renewal, and fleeting yet precious life.

3. Elephants - motifs of wisdom, strength, good fortune, and prosperity.

Together, these designs reflect harmony between nature, tradition, and blessing. Elephants surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms create an uplifting, joyful scene, while the repeating ocean waves symbolize a continuous flow of luck and stability.

Hand-painted on smooth white porcelain, the blue designs radiate elegance and depth. These plates are functional for everyday use yet refined enough for formal dining or display. Their size makes them versatile for serving main dishes, shared meals, or as decorative pieces in the home.

Mikawachi ware has been celebrated since the Edo period as porcelain made for both daily use and presentation to feudal lords. Today, it remains one of the finest expressions of Japanese porcelain artistry. This three-piece set carries cultural meaning, making it a thoughtful and enduring gift for weddings, housewarmings, or any occasion of celebration.
