Description

This hand-painted porcelain dish bears the inscription “Shōkawa” (庄川), referencing the traditional craft-producing region of the same name in Japan. Known for its artisanal ceramics, Shōkawa is associated with small-scale, high-quality production — often distinct from mass-manufactured wares.

The cherry blossom motif embodies the spirit of seasonal reverence in Japanese art, while the signature implies the involvement of a specific artist or local kiln. Such pieces are collected for their aesthetic sensitivity and cultural rootedness.

Its combination of painterly delicacy and regional authenticity make it an ideal addition to a collection of fine Japanese tableware.
