Vessels Are Part of the Dish!Blue and White Ware — Colors That Clear the Eye and Open the Heart

　　　

On a clear spring day in Okuhida, the snow-capped peaks of the Northern Alps rise sharply against a deep blue sky.
White catches the light, while blue creates depth.
Simply placing these two colors side by side brings clarity to the scene and a crisp tension to the air.

Across the sea, the same beauty appears in the Mediterranean.
Blue seas and skies, white rows of houses.
Under the strong sun, white softens the heat, and blue carries a sense of coolness.
Colors chosen by the land itself eventually take root as the wisdom of everyday life.

Turning back to the table, we realize that blue and white vessels are also practical colors for modern living.
White reflects food faithfully; blue sharpens its outline, adding a feeling of cleanliness and calm.
They are not flashy, yet they never grow tiresome in daily meals.
Regardless of season or cuisine, one naturally reaches for them—surely because of their perfect balance.

Blue and white ware brings memories of landscapes to the table.
Evoking mountain air and the light of the sea, it quietly receives today’s dishes.
Colors that continue to be used in daily life always have a reason.
Blue and white show that reason clearly, without a single word.
