[SMALL DISH] FOX AND AUTUMN GRASSES | PRINTING AND KYO-YUZEN ENGRAVING| SANSAI STUDIO

Plate Characteristic 1

A warm and welcoming plate with engraving

This plate is one of the products that originated from the yuzen patterns applied to kimonos. It is an item that allows you to easily incorporate the gorgeous world of Kyo Yuzen into your daily life.

Kyo-yuzen, which is the hand-dyeing of Japanese paintings, spread during the Edo period. In the Meiji period (1868-1912), katazome yuzen, which uses stencils, was born. The katazome yuzen molds are made by ”Yuzen Engravings”. They create delicate and beautiful products using “Kirigata”, in which designs are engraved by hand using tools such as small knives and round gouges, and laser processing, in which designs are engraved using design data that has been cultivated over the years.

Plate Characteristic 2

The collaboration of the autumn grass pattern and the fox is a tasteful design

The dish is designed with a fox full of personality in the center and an autumn grass pattern around it, which represents flowers and grasses blooming in autumn fields. Although the design itself fills the entire dish, it is finished with a wabi-sabi feeling filled with a Japanese sense of beauty.

The grain and shade of the wood are gentle, making it a gem that will warm your heart every time you use it. The detailed carvings of flowers and grasses are very delicate and beautiful. The natural color of the paint is carefully applied by hand by craftsmen one by one.

While we see many plain wooden plates, it is very rare to find wooden plates with such intricate designs.

Various uses depending on glass coating

The wood texture is still there, but the surface of the dish has a glass coating. Therefore, it is nice not to have to worry too much about oil stains and dirt.

It can be used as a plate for serving a single dish or for sharing, and also as a plate for serving tea during teatime or when guests visit. Because it is unbreakable even if dropped, it is also perfect for children's plates.

The plates can be stacked even if you have several of them, making them easy to store in a cupboard or other space.

The back of the dish is flat, and the grain of the wood is clearly visible. Not only is this dish easy to use, but it is also beautiful from every angle, making you want to use it every day.

Thanks to its solid and tall shape, it can also be used as an interior item, such as a container for small items. Just by placing watches, accessories, and other small items that you use every day on it, you can put them together very stylishly.
