Artisans in Ishikawa, Japan, have applied the traditional “hakute-gaki morikomi” raised technique, layering authentic Kanazawa gold leaf (designated as a Traditional Craft of Japan in 1977), colored leaf, and metallic powders, creating a delicate and luminous expression.

Inspired by the works of Sakai Hōitsu, each motif is uniquely interpreted by skilled artisans to harmonize the essence of traditional Japanese culture with contemporary interior décor. The finely finished Tochi wood plate features a black-lacquered back and measures 30 × 30 × 4 cm (approx. 11.8 × 11.8 × 1.6 in), weighing 460 g.

This item is made to order. Each plate is individually produced after purchase, resulting in natural variations in the gold, colored, and metallic leaf finishes that make every work unique. The plate can be displayed on a stand, functioning as both a collectible art object and a statement decorative piece for interiors. See less
