Tsuzumi

Tsuzumi has a symmetrical shape with two cups on either end, and each has a different color. You can use Tsuzumi to serve sake, some kind of strong alcohol, or delicacies, but just displaying it as a piece of art could satisfy you because of its nobility and gracefulness. It harmonizes with almost anything. Normally, makie is applied to the body or the inside bottom, but in the case of Tsuzumi, it is positioned as if it looks peeking out from inside. This is the very essence of Japanese beauty, which is modest but impressive. Layered urushi, tamenuri, creates graceful shades in the cup.

Origami Shikki

Origami Shikki is a lacquered paper plate made from washi, a traditional Japanese paper. The design combines origami folding with the traditional crafts of washi paper and lacquerware. A lacquer coating makes the plate resistant to water and oil, so the plate can be washed with water and detergent and reused many times. The geometric form is folded from a single sheet of paper, which keeps the plate light and allows it to be folded flat for carrying.
