This Japanese indigo blue dinnerware collection features traditional tobikanna (flying plane) pattern faithfully recreated using modern pad printing technology. Tobikanna, also called chattering, is a decorative ceramics technique. As clay is turned on a potter's wheel, a flexible piece of metal called a plane is lightly skipped over the clay to create an engraved pattern. This technique requires a high level of skill, as the pattern is easily affected by the tool, the moisture content of the clay, and the speed at which the wheel is turned. 

Unlike hand-carved versions, this printed design offers the visual charm of traditional techniques at a more accessible price point — ideal for both everyday use and gift-giving. Perfect for udon, soba, katsudon, tendon, and other classic Japanese donburi dishes. Modern blue-and-white dinnerware for everyone. Material: ceramic. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Made in Japan. Please note: The color varies in contrast. There may be some imperfections such as scratches, dents, black dots, pinholes, bumps, color/shape differences and weight. The actual color of the product may look different depending on your monitor setting and lighting of the room.
