Shichita First
On July 7th, a cat wandered into a pottery workshop in Mino. Since it happened to be Tanabata Day, the cat was named “Shichita”…
Inspired by this endearing cat, the “SHICHITA” series was created. The laid-back, charming expressions of these cats will bring a smile to your face, capturing the essence of the real Shichita.
These small plates are perfect for soy sauce or snacks. You can also place several on a tray to enjoy a variety of small dishes.
Someneko
Introducing the charming Shichita Someneko Series – a delightful fusion of laid-back, whimsical cat expressions and traditional Japanese patterns.
The striking deep blue color, known as gosu, is achieved through multiple layers of dyeing. Each plate features playful cats living joyfully atop iconic Japanese motifs.

SHICHITA 3 Cats
From the delightfully relaxed “Shichita” series comes a new lineup of plates featuring beautifully embossed relief designs.

The round eyes and plump little bodies of the cats add a touch of irresistible charm.
Perfect as small plates for cookies or desserts.
You can also use them for soy sauce, condiments, or as tiny side dish plates for serving just a little of everything.
The Charm of Handmade Cats from Japan
Behind every plate in the Shichita series lies the heart of Japanese craftsmanship—playful yet precise, charming yet deeply rooted in tradition. Inspired by the everyday presence of cats in Japanese culture, these small plates turn moments of casual dining into delightful rituals.
Each piece is carefully made in small batches by skilled artisans. Whether it’s the gentle relief of the 3 Cats series or the vivid brushwork of the Someneko designs, every detail is thoughtfully shaped and painted by hand. No two cats are quite the same—and that’s what makes each plate feel alive.
From soft matte textures to expressive feline faces, the Shichita series captures more than cuteness. It carries the spirit of “kawaii” with the integrity of fine ceramics, creating pieces that appeal to both cat lovers and design enthusiasts alike.
