Wholesale Vintage Yachimun Plate

A vintage Yachimun plate from Okinawa, Japan. Yachimun — meaning "fired things" in Okinawan — is a ceramic tradition with roots stretching back to the 16th century, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange between Okinawa, mainland Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. The craft gained wider recognition in the early 20th century when Yanagi Sōetsu, founder of the Mingei (folk craft) movement, championed its unpretentious beauty and honest craftsmanship. Its distinctive patterns, wild and whimsical, bring an artful charm as an accent to your everyday table. Good size for dinner plate. φ 23.5 cm × H 5 cm / φ 9.3 × H 2.0 in
