Usuzumi Square Plate (OUT OF STOCK)

Ryuji Mitani

• Introduction

  I am a Usuzumi Square Plate. What looks like smoke are real brush strokes.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  This is a personalized tray - think pastry or sashimi for one. Pairing the plate with the right meal will naturally be determined by the contents of the dish and this tray deserves something special. The tree gives this plate so much expression even though there are layers of lacquer and artful strokes - yet nature is still at the base of the piece. It looks best with a couple small pieces of food, just a few bites to reveal the beautiful one-of-a-kind, painterly background.
