A small dish with a nostalgic charm, featuring the auspicious tako-karakusa (octopus arabesque) pattern symbolizing prosperity and longevity, its blue underglaze painting beautifully set against crisp white porcelain with handcrafted shading that shows the artisan's touch, finished with a delicate flower-like rim; durable and easy to care for, this porcelain piece is perfect for small bites like pickles or umeboshi, looks charming arranged in numbers on a tray, and adds a lovely accent—whether for snacks like bean sweets or rice crackers—to a table of round dishes.
