Kinkakuji, or the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, is perhaps Japan's most photographed spot. So why not bring a taste of Kyoto's most famous temple to your table with the Kinkakuji Temple of the Golden Pavilion Dinnerware Set, a unique way to serve your family of dinner guests?
This beautiful ceramic likeness of the famous temple is made with Nagasaki's Hasami-yaki school of pottery. It opens up to reveal a full dinnerware set with plates, a cup, trays and even a chopstick rest. Practically everything you need to serve a full Japanese meal in the most appropriate way. Add in a paulownia box for storage (all traditional Japanese pottery comes with one) and a bilingual leaflet explaining how to use the dishes (and which also serves as a mat in the style of a temple garden), and you truly have the perfect dinner party set.
