SPEC

［Size］

Round L： Diameter 360mm × 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］Natural Japanese lacquer

High-quality finish with deep color and natural luster using traditional natural Japanese lacquer craft techniques.

About Natural Japanese Lacquer (Urushi)

The Japanese lacquer-finished PLATE is a masterpiece of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, created in collaboration with “Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi” in Kyoto.

The delicate grain of the tsuki-ita wood veneer plate harmonizes with the deep luster of the natural Japanese lacquer to create a unique presence. The PLATE which is only manufactured by MORI KOUGEI and Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi, has the unique characteristics of a lacquer that make it more attractive the more it is used. And it is both easy to use every day and durable over the long term.

This PLATE is the result of skilled craftsmanship and originality in its form and functionality. It is designed to add quiet brightness to a sophisticated dining space and blend naturally into any setting. We have created a one-of-a-kind product that will accompany your daily dining table and add a touch of flair to your special occasions.

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?

A5: Direct sunlight can cause the wood to crack, deform, and color fade-out, so please keep it out of direct sunlight.

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

A6: We can repair minor scratches on the topcoat Japanese natural lacquer or CERAWOOD, but we cannot repair deep scratches, cracks, or distortions.

Q7: Can PLATE be used for hot dishes?

A7: Yes, it is highly heat-resistant and can be used for hot dishes. However, please refrain from using it at high temperatures that may burn the wood (e.g., contact with a hot griddle, iron kettle, etc.).
