Tea Leaf Plate with d:matcha logo - handmade in Shigaraki
Please note that the cost stated is for per plate.
Handmade in the Shigaraki Town of Japan, these beautiful plates were inspired by the leaves of tea trees. The nature of the clay used also gives it traces of the signature oatmeal colour of Shigaraki-yaki around the edges: a bright warm orange with a hint of red.
This is our original plate. We put a logo on the backside of the plate.
Each Tea Leaf Plate is specially handcrafted and is bound to make tea time more enjoyable for both you and your guests!

Shigaraki, Japan
Take a fifteen minute drive from d:matcha Kyoto's organic tea fields in the Yubune Region of Wazuka Town to reach the Shigaraki area. The kilns in this area are considered one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan. While famous Shigaraki-ware includes tanuki figurines, this area has a long-standing history in local pottery traditions.
The use of Shigariki-ware in tea ceremonies was normalised after tea master Murata Juko instructed for these items to be used. The natural characteristics of Shigaraki-made teaware poignantly reflected the wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles of sado.
