Daitoua Neko Chigura Dinnerware Set - 20cm & 12cm - 4-Piece
This four-piece set covers a two-person table: two 20cm plates for main courses and two 12cm bowls for rice or sides, in the Mike and Hachiware designs from the Daitoua Neko Chigura range.
Mike is the calico cat, drawn with heart-shaped markings in soft indigo; Hachiware is the tuxedo cat, drawn in a deeper indigo. Giving each person their own cat makes the place settings easy to tell apart.
