This is a charming, small-sized plate, often referred to as a “mini plate,” a style not commonly seen in traditional lacquerware.
Finished with a “Mehajiki” lacquer technique that allows the wood grain to show through, it conveys the warmth and softness of the natural wood.
Perfect for serving sweets, small snacks with drinks, or as individual plates for dishes. It can also be used as a stylish coaster.
The designs feature new Japanese-style lacquer colors, carefully developed by Isuke, a family of lacquer merchants since the Edo period, combined with motifs inspired by Kyoto utensils and animal patterns from Geso-do woodblock prints.
Lightweight and compact, this distinctly Japanese item is also ideal as a souvenir for inbound travelers.
