Japanese Dark Green Rectangular Plates, Cherry Blossoms – Set of 5

Five very dark green rectangular plates, decorated with branches of cherry blossom.

On a deep, speckled, almost black green background, fine golden-brown branches carry white cherry blossoms. The decoration stays airy and leaves plenty of room for the dark background.

The cherry blossom, sakura, is the emblem of spring in Japan. Every year, its brief and eagerly awaited blooming is celebrated during hanami, the tradition of gathering beneath the trees in flower. Its fleeting beauty is an invitation to savour the present moment.

At 22 × 15 cm, with edges slightly raised at the ends, these plates suit sushi, starters, grilled food or desserts.

They are part of the shop’s dark green sakura collection, with bowls, plates, dishes and small dishes in the same decoration.
