[SMALL DISH] DEER AND AUTUMN LEAVES | 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 autumn leaves and deer is a tasteful design.

The plate is designed with a unique deer in the center, surrounded by autumn leaves and other flowers and grasses. Although the design itself covers the entire plate, it is not gaudy at all, but rather a wabi-sabi finish filled with a Japanese sense of beauty.

The grain and shade of the wood are gentle, and each time you use it, you will feel warm and relaxed. However, a closer look at the carving reveals that it has been finely and delicately carved. The natural color of the paint is carefully applied by hand, one by one, by craftsmen.

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.

Moderate depth and the lightness of wood

The diameter of the dish is about 5.35 in. (13.6cm), and its height is about 0.79 in. (2cm), with a firm rim height. Weighing only about 0.08 lbs (35g), the lightness of wood is also attractive. 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.

Also for interior items such as accessory cases

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.

It can be used for a variety of purposes other than as a cooking plate, such as placing your favorite objet d'art or as a stand for a small vase, depending on your ideas. We hope you will find your own way to enjoy it.
