In China, chrysanthemums, plums, orchids, and bamboos are known as the “Four Gentlemen,” flowers that have long been symbols of nobility. The image has been transmitted to Japan and has been used in many of the tableware in Japan. One of them is "Kikuwari", which is a beautiful porcelain with pleats and finished in a shape like a chrysanthemum petal. The simple and precise modeling is still fresh after many years. It is an elegant form that Arita, who fired white porcelain for the first time in Japan, boasts to the world. The beautiful white porcelain with chrysanthemum split is also useful in harmony with other tableware.

About the brand
Shobido Honten was found in 1959 by Ritsushi Kamachi. Shozo Kamachi, the eldest son of Ritsushi Kamachi, worked hard with his father to develop the business and traveled all over the country to expand the market for Arita porcelain. On the other hand, he worked on the return of Ko-Imari, which was exported as far as Europe in the 17th century. Many masterpieces such as Uemon and Meiji Imari were brought back to Arita. He later held exhibitions of Ko-Imari that he had brought back to his hometown all over the country, creating the opportunity for the Ko-Imari boom.
In the long history of Arita, they aim to revive the world of tradition and innovation of Arita porcelain that has been handed down and preserved by our predecessors in modern pottery. The brand "Kisen" is born.
In February 2010, the "Koimari Wine Cup" won both the Grand Prix and the Gold Prize at the "Attractive Japanese Souvenir Contest 2010" sponsored by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Japan Tourism Agency. In March of the same year, the pot dish "Cacomi" was certified as a universal design recommended product by Saga Prefecture.
