烏羽色の深さに、静けさが宿る。

In the depth of crow-feather black, stillness finds its home.

Karasuba-Iro Large Japanese Plate

A statement piece. Its deep glossy black and grey speckled glaze is finished with red-brown detailing and white sweeps that give it a painterly, almost abstract quality. At 29cm, it’s a generous plate — ideal for presenting maki sushi rolls, large sharing salads, or carpaccios with the kind of drama they deserve. Because each plate is individually hand-finished, no two are exactly alike. Minor variations in colour and texture are part of what makes each piece its own.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

烏羽色 — Karasuba-iro — crow-feather black

烏羽色 (Karasuba-iro) is a traditional Japanese colour name describing the lustrous, blue-black sheen of a crow’s feather. It appears in the Nihon no Dentō Shikisai — Japan’s catalogue of classical colour names — and has been used in Japanese art and textile dyeing for centuries to describe the deepest, most reflective black. It is a colour associated with depth, quiet authority, and the kind of beauty that does not announce itself.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a dinner plate. You are learning something meaningful — and bringing a little piece of Japan home.

✦ Perfect For

A birthday gift, housewarming, or a centrepiece plate for anyone who loves Japanese ceramics and dramatic, beautiful tableware.
