Small Japanese Dark Green Dishes, Cherry Blossoms – Set of 5

Five small dark green rectangular dishes, decorated with a cherry branch.

On a deep, speckled, almost black green background, a fine golden-brown branch carries a few white cherry blossoms. The raised edges hold in sauces and condiments.

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 9 × 6.5 cm, these dishes suit soy sauce, pickles, wasabi or a bite-sized snack.

They are part of the shop’s dark green sakura collection and accompany the rectangular plates in the same decoration.
