SHICHI CHOJUGIGA Set of 5 Hand-painted Porcelain plates

Five small porcelain plates glazed in glossy Mino ware, each printed with SHICHI Cat scenes drawn in the playful spirit of Choju-giga, a set of scrolls often called Japan’s oldest manga and designated a National Treasure. The name Choju-giga—combining “frolicking animals” and “long life”—appears in the imagery, where lively brushwork and loose, humorous figures animate each design. Each plate measures approximately 10 × 10 × 1.8 cm (stacked height for two: 2.8 cm); the set weighs about 430 g. Microwave- and dishwasher-safe, the five-design, gift-boxed set is useful for soy sauce, condiments, small desserts, and as a souvenir or gift.
