Experience the serene beauty of Japanese ceramics with the Washi-Dyed Blue Bird Square Plate from the Blue Collection by Kouungama in Takeo, Saga, Japan. Each plate features one of four unique bird motifs, hand-dyed using traditional Japanese Washi techniques, creating subtle variations that make every piece truly special.
This collection is known for its distinctive deep blue glaze, achieved by firing the pottery at a temperature 20–30°C lower than usual, resulting in a soft yet rich tone that feels calm and refined. Due to this lower firing temperature, pieces should be handled gently to ensure long-lasting beauty.
Pair these elegant square plates with the Blue Collection Coffee Cup to enjoy a refined coffee or tea time at home, adding a touch of authentic Japanese craftsmanship to your daily routine. Durable yet delicate, these plates are perfect for serving desserts, snacks, or appetizers, showcasing the artistry and subtle color variations of Kouungama ceramics.

About Kouungama
Kouungama opened in 1992.
The kiln produces mainly bowls, plates, teacups, and other tableware using the Karatsu method. They strive to create “Takeo ceramic ware to accompany daily life” by combining simple earthenware “Karatsu” with gorgeous features such as overglaze enamels.
Originally, most of the pottery made in the Takeo area had roots in Karatsu-yaki (ware), and there was no such thing as “Takeo ware “. However, they have inherited the techniques of Karatsu ware and added their own original overglaze enamels to it.
They call it “Takeo Ancient Karatsu Ware “.
Karatsu-yaki From Saga, Japan
