"Flowing volcanic glaze Big square dish"

In the autumn of 1995 when Japanese Emperor came to Shimabara, a dish named "Flowing volcanic glaze Big square dish" was bought by him. And next year it was located in the reception room at The Imperial Palace in Tokyo during the New Year holiday. I was congratulated of that honor.
