I love buying new tableware and living in Japan, I am fortunate to have access to so many varieties of Japanese porcelain. One porcelain manufacturer I like in particular is called Hakusan Porcelain based in Nagasaki, Kyushu, on the southern island of Japan.
I bought one of these plates the other day (the mid-sized dinner plate). This series called “Arabesque” is only available in shops directly managed by the company although its products are widely available in department stores, lifestyle shops, etc.

When I did my shopping, the shop gave me its latest catalog and I was inspired. The next day, I went to my nail appointment with it and here is what my nail stylist and I came up with.
