Awasaka Kotohogi Celebration Plates Gift Set - 23.5cm - 3-Piece
Kotohogi (言祝ぎ) is a Japanese word meaning to celebrate with words of blessing. This curated three-piece set embodies that spirit — bringing together three large deep plates, each bearing a distinct auspicious design, as a considered expression of joy, gratitude, and togetherness at the table.
Each plate measures 23.5cm in diameter with a generous 5cm depth, making the set as practical as it is celebratory. The three designs — Red & Blue Geometric Fuku, Green & Gold Pine, and Fuku Radial — draw on traditional Japanese motifs including the character for good fortune, pine branches symbolising longevity, and the chrysanthemum-inspired radial pattern. Well suited to curry, pasta, stews, and shared dishes, this set makes a thoughtful gift for weddings, housewarmings, and festive occasions.
