The top surface of the dish showcases the delicate veining of the lotus leaf, each line meticulously carved to emulate the natural patterns found in nature. Flip it over to admire the detailed carving of the leaf’s underside, featuring the stem and ribs characteristic of a lotus leaf's structure. Despite its small size, this dish is perfect for holding a few rings or as a contemplative piece on a table. In Japanese culture, the lotus symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. It is revered for its ability to bloom beautifully in muddy waters, representing the journey through difficulties to achieve purity and spiritual awakening. This charming dish is not just a functional item but a symbol of deeper philosophical and cultural significance. See less
