Inbante Set of 6 various animal small plates

“Imbante” plate made with Katakata

"Inban-te" plates designed by Kata Kata, a dyeing unit run by husband and wife Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai.
``Inban-te'' refers to painting using printing techniques such as ``stencil printing'' and ``copperplate transfer.'' It is a technique that rapidly developed after the Meiji period, enabling manual mass production without the need for a professional illustrator.
As a result, painted porcelain vessels were distributed all over Japan, and the eating habits of the common people underwent a major transformation.
Although it is called painting by printing, this method at the time was prone to many defects such as fading, blurring, color loss, and uneven coloring in the design, and in recent years it has become a technique that is only used in a limited number of cases.
However, among pottery enthusiasts, there are those who think that the flaws are part of the flavor, and that is the charm, and of course Kurashiki Design is in the same category as those people, but even if it is not possible to achieve a uniform finish, I still wanted to make pottery using this technique.
The ideal dish would be a plate with an irregular, rustic flavor that was the same as it was back in the day, but with a more modern design, one that could not be easily identified as being from any country.
Pattern printing, which is one of the stamping techniques, is a type of dyeing, so I thought that I could make wonderful plates with Katakata.

The result was a stamp plate created using the copperplate transfer method. As you can imagine, many plates filled with fun and stories were created. I think it will be useful every day as a container that will spark conversation every time you sit around the dinner table. (Kurashiki Design Planning Office)

We have prepared 6 types of sets in gorgeous colors that can be used for family use or as gifts.

The size is small enough to hold appetizers, soy sauce for sashimi, and sweets, or to use as a paperclip holder at your desk.
All of them are unique and cute.

It will be neatly packaged in a sturdy box so that it can be used as a gift. (The photo is an image)
