He also goes to the kiln factory to discuss with the craftsmen and guide the painting techniques. Each piece is hand-finished using the superb skills of Arita Kiln's professional workers. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54004054858_a1355d32fc_c.jpg **chrysanthemum painted flat plate** This chrysanthemum-painted ceramic flat plate subverts the complex composition of traditional chrysanthemum painting. It outlines the vivid and beautiful feeling of chrysanthemums with smooth and free brushstrokes along the edge of the plate. It is paired with the simple white glaze with faint iron-gray dots to perfectly set off its elegance. Elegant and delicate texture; Oka Shingo deliberately retains the traces of hand-glazing. The natural touch is admirable. The right size and depth are suitable for holding various side dishes, salads and snacks. **Since the original Japanese factory does not provide an outer box for this product, it will be packed with bubble wrap when shipped. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.**
