2018.03.04 published
Do you have special dishes for celebrations?
Suddenly, do you all have "celebratory dishes"? (Or did you have them at your family home?)
My home had special celebratory dishes that were used during New Year's, Shichi-Go-San, school entrance ceremonies, graduations, and passing celebrations.
They were dishes that were probably expensive and rarely used, and just taking them out made me feel, "Today is a special day!"
I don't have any special dishes like my mother prepared yet, but I would like to have special dishes by the time I have a child, and on certain occasions, I want to take them out, cook delicious meals, and celebrate...♡
Perhaps you also have such memorable dishes?
Tanekiyo Kiln's "Musubi" is perfect for celebratory occasions*
That said, when it comes to buying suitable plates for celebrations, it can be difficult to know what to choose.
While searching for various dishes, I discovered some festive dishes that are worthy of celebration, and I’d like to share them with you.
Those dishes are from the Arita-yaki “Tanekiyo Kiln” and are part of the "Musubi" series.
These plates feature a auspicious design inspired by mizuhiki (Japanese knotting).
Don't you think a plate with a mizuhiki design is very rare??
Each "Musubi" from Tanekiyo Kiln has a meaning*
Each mizuhiki has its own meaning, and the Musubi series from Tanekiyo Kiln consists of five designs.
① Kichijou Musubi (top left): A knot wishing for luck and health
② Awaji Musubi (bottom left): A knot wishing for longevity
③ Ume Musubi (top right): A firm knot that does not untie, for warding off evil and improving fate
④ Fukuro Musubi (bottom right): A knot with the meaning of not cutting ties
⑤ Musubi (middle): A knot wishing for a long-lasting relationship
Tanekiyo Kiln's Musubi comes in two colors: gold and vermilion*
The plates from Tanekiyo Kiln's Musubi, perfect for celebratory occasions, come in two colors: gold and vermilion.
They come in various sizes such as chopstick rests, small plates, small bowls, individual plates, small rice bowls, and large plates.
Not only are they great for home use, but they are also recommended for gifts, wedding favors, and wedding celebrations.
Since there aren’t many opportunities to buy celebratory plates, it’s really nice to receive them as gifts, isn’t it?♩
