Inban is one of the signature printing technics that often used in making small plates in Japan.
The selected pattern will be printed from paper to porcelain. Before printing, the craftsman would wet the patterned “tensha-gami” (known as the printing paper), and then put it on an unglazed pottery. The craftsman would repeat the procedure and print one by one. Since it is a fully hand-made process done by the skilled craftsman, each plate, even made from the same patterned paper, comes with a different face at the end.
About our 3 selected Japanese traditional patterns:
Kuyo: it is the design of nine petals flowers on the plate
Karamatsu: it is the design of larch flowers, placing in circle arrangement on the plate
Kikuji: it is the design of small chrysanthemums flowers, placing all over the plate
Weight of one plate: around 90g
Material: porcelain
Place of origin: Japan
Care Instructions for the plates:
Dishwasher and Microwave Safe. Oven and Freezer Unsafe.

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design.
We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
