Wooden Plates with Gold-Thread Motifs Each plate is adorned with a unique “gold-thread” pattern, where shimmering lines of gold intersect gracefully, creating a design that enhances the presentation of any dish. The warm blend of lacquer and natural wood allows these plates to harmonize beautifully with both Japanese and Western cuisine, bringing brightness and elegance to your table. The L size works beautifully as a main plate for individual servings, or as a larger platter for sharing with a group. Available in two colors: classic black lacquer and vivid red lacquer, each finished with the traditional Japanese fuki-urushi (wiped lacquer) technique. This method highlights the natural wood grain while giving the lacquer a rich, refined luster. The result is a piece that balances contemporary lifestyle with timeless craftsmanship. 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

Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art A contemporary art series that reinterprets auspicious motifs from traditional ukiyo-e through the brilliance of Kanazawa gold leaf. The themes are three iconic works by the renowned ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai: Red Fuji, Cranes and Mt. Fuji, and Dragon Rising over Mt. Fuji. Each piece inherits the symbolism and stories of these auspicious images, while Hakukichi’s craftsmanship adds a new radiance. We present this series as modern lucky art, bringing “good fortune” into everyday life. Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art - South Wind, Clear Sky (Red Fuji) This piece is inspired by “South Wind, Clear Sky (Red Fuji),” one of the works from Katsushika Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. It depicts the rare sight of Mount Fuji glowing red in the early morning sunlight. This phenomenon can only be seen under limited conditions: during a brief period between summer and autumn, at dawn, when the air is exceptionally clear. Because of its rarity and striking beauty, the Red Fuji has long been regarded as a powerful symbol of good fortune. Ukiyo-e Beauty Reimagined for Modern Interiors Ukiyo-e, a popular art form among the common people of the Edo period, often featured Mt. Fuji—the greatest symbol of good fortune in Japan. This series reinterprets Mt. Fuji as depicted by Japan’s celebrated ukiyo-e master, Katsushika Hokusai. Through the brilliant hues of Kanazawa gold leaf and the refined skills of artisans, each piece becomes a unique work of contemporary art unlike any other. Depth Born from Modern Materials and Traditional Techniques Each Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art fuses modern materials with traditional Kanazawa gold leaf techniques. Acrylic layers form the composition, dividing the motifs into sky, Mt. Fuji, and clouds. This three-layer structure creates a sense of depth, transforming the flat beauty of ukiyo-e into a dynamic, dimensional expression. Compact and lightweight, the panels are easy to display, even for women or elderly people. They bring “good fortune” into daily life, whether placed in a guest room to welcome visitors or in a living room for the family to enjoy together. With auspicious motifs and refined craftsmanship, these art panels also make cherished gifts for special occasions such as longevity celebrations, commemorations, or as unique souvenirs from Japan.

Through his dynamic compositions and vigorous brushwork, he developed a uniquely powerful style that later influenced French Impressionists. His most celebrated works include Hokusai Manga, Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji, and One Thousand Pictures of the Sea. Learn More
