The series comes in three sizes: S, M, and L. Choose according to your needs, or mix and match different sizes and colors to create a cohesive and stylish table setting. Gold-Thread Series The gold-thread motif symbolizes enduring connections (en), representing bonds between people. An exclusive HAKUICHI design, these plates are tableware meant to deepen ties with those you dine with or present them to as a gift. About the Lacquer Plate ●Design: The rim of the plate is half-adorned with the gold-thread motif. This subtle balance ensures the gold does not overpower the dish, instead enhancing its beauty. The orientation of the pattern can be chosen by the user, allowing for playful versatility—no matter how it’s set, the dish always shines. ●Wood & Lacquer: Crafted from premium domestic wood, each plate is meticulously carved by skilled artisans. The fuki-urushi technique maximizes the natural allure of the wood, bringing out both its grain and the lacquer’s depth of color. Please note: As each piece is handcrafted, variations in color, grain, and gold detailing may occur, making every plate truly one-of-a-kind. Learn More
