SPEC
［Size］
Rectangle：300mm × 420mm × Height 12mm
［Wood Type］White Sycamore (with Kosen-bari)
White Sycamore is a wood with a characteristic luster pattern (shrinkage) that crosses the grain vertically.
The patterns created by taking advantage of the luster pattern (shrinkage) are made even more beautifully apparent by indigo dyeing and natural Japanese lacquer, and delicate designs like ripples spreading when a drop falls on the surface of water appear on the PLATE.
［Finishing］indigo dye
CERAWOOD: High-performance top coat with excellent water and heat resistance, stain and dirt resistance
About Indigo Dyein
The Aizome-finished PLATE is dyed with the “Hakko-date" dyeing method using natural indigo, which is well-known as a traditional specialty of Tokushima.
This is a joint work by MORI KOUGEI and “Watanabe's” workshop which consistently carries out the entire process from indigo cultivation to dyeing.
The water- and heat-resistant CERAWOOD coating is ideal for daily use, and the indigo-dyeing process brings vibrant colors that deepen with use. PLATE, with its natural wood texture and unique beauty that can be enjoyed as it ages, makes everyday meals even more special, both as art to add color to the dining table and as a practical vessel.
Kosen-bari (ray of light pasting method)
The wood is sliced into thin strips, and the strips are cut into triangles and pasted together around the center to create a pattern that looks like rays of light radiating from the center.
The wood then has the characteristic of appearing different colors depending on the angle of light and the direction in which it is viewed.
This delicate and sophisticated design is also attractive because it shows different expressions depending on the way the light hits it.

Q&A About PLATE Q&A
Q1: What is CERAWOOD coating?
A1: CERAWOOD is a high-performance ceramic coating based on urethane resin with ultra-fine particle composites. We chose this for the finish because it is important not to spoil the texture of the wood, while at the same time considering its practicality as tableware. It is more resistant to heat, stains, and UV rays than typical urethane paint finishes. Of course, it also complies with food hygiene regulations.
Q2: Can PLATE be washed in water?
A2: It can be washed in water. However, since the topcoat may be eroded by small scratches or damage, wipe with a dry cloth after rinsing.
Q3: Can this PLATE be washed in a dishwasher?
A3: Hand washing is recommended. Due to the delicacy of wood products, please avoid using a dishwasher and wash by hand gently.
Q4: Can it be used in a microwave oven?
A4: PLATE is made of natural wood and is not suitable for microwave use.
Q5: Is it safe to store the product in direct sunlight?

Q6: If the PLATE is scratched, can it be repaired?
