The Hokusai Roaring Waves Salad Plate captures the dynamic spirit of the ocean through a powerful indigo wave motif inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s celebrated art. Swirling lines rise from the center like cresting tides, evoking the strength and movement of traditional ukiyo-e. Layered shades of deep blue flow across the surface, while the hand-textured rim adds warmth and balance to the vivid design.

Crafted with exceptional precision, this Hizen Yoshida ware plate blends artistry with everyday function. The broad surface is perfect for salads, small entrees, or desserts, and the gently raised rim keeps sauces and dressings neatly contained. Even when food is plated, the wave motif remains partly visible beneath each dish, adding a touch of art to every meal.

Elegant enough for display yet practical for daily use, the Hokusai Roaring Waves Salad Plate brings depth, emotion, and timeless beauty to your table. A true expression of Japanese craftsmanship and the enduring allure of the sea.

Hizen Yoshida Ware

Hizen Yoshida ware originates from the historic Hizen region spanning Saga and Nagasaki Prefectures. Its roots trace back to 1598, when porcelain making began in the Yoshida area of Ureshino under the patronage of the Nabeshima clan. Using fine local clay and porcelain stone, artisans refined their skills alongside Arita ware while developing a simple, graceful style of their own. Today, local kilns continue to produce porcelain that blends timeless craftsmanship with designs suited to modern living.

Salad Plate

Medium plates are ideal for individual salads, appetizers, side dishes, and breakfast toast, or to serve individual portions from a family-style platter. This is also the perfect size plate for the main dish in the traditional Japanese washoku meal called ichiju sansai.

FAQ

Are the small dents, pinholes, or texture marks on this ceramic piece a defect?

No. These marks are normal characteristics of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, formed during shaping, glazing, or firing in small kilns. Subtle dents, tiny pinholes, and slight texture variations are part of the artisan process — not defects. If you see clear cracks, chips, or peeling glaze, please email support@jocgoods.com with photos.

Are the small black or dark specks in the glaze safe?

Yes, the dark specks are safe. They are natural iron minerals in the clay that react during high-temperature firing, leaving small marks under the glaze. They do not affect food safety, durability, or performance, and are part of the organic character of handmade Japanese pottery.

Do your ceramic dishes contain lead or cadmium?

Some glazed ceramic pieces may contain trace amounts of lead or cadmium sealed beneath the glaze, at levels safe for food use. Japanese ceramic tableware is regulated under the Food Sanitation Act, which sets leaching limits for lead and cadmium in glazed tableware. Testing standards differ by country, so we cannot guarantee compliance with every regional regulation.

Why does each handcrafted bowl or plate look slightly different from the photo?

Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand in small artisan kilns across Japan, so subtle differences in color, glaze pattern, weight, and even rim shape are expected. No two pieces are identical. This natural variation is what makes each item one of a kind, not a quality flaw.

Even if a ceramic piece is dishwasher safe, should I still hand-wash it?

Dishwasher-safe pieces can go in the dishwasher, and doing so will not damage the glaze. That said, ceramic (earthenware) is more prone to chipping than porcelain, and pieces can knock against the rack or other dishes while loading and unloading — which is the most common cause of small chips. For longevity, hand-washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
