{"product_id":"oak-flat-indigo-dyed_small-コピー","title":"oak\/ridged-indigo dyed_small","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the wood-crafting capital of Tokushima, where seven decades of artisan memory flow through the hands of Mori Kougei, a forgotten remnant of the timber world has found its rebirth. For generations, when the finest oaks were sliced thin as paper to face exquisite furniture, a dense, resilient core of solid wood remained—the Tsuki-jiri, hidden away in the shadows of the workshop floor, discarded yet flawless.This plate brings that silent timber into the light, transforming a rustic afterthought into an elegant centerpiece. For this piece, the surface of the Japanese oak becomes a canvas for master sculptor Masahiro Ikawa (Horisho III), who meticulously hand-carves the wood with his chisels. His intentional, rhythmic strokes etch a tactile texture reminiscent of gentle ripples on a sacred river, ensuring that no two plates share the same soul.The carved plate is then immersed in natural Tadeai (indigo), dyed through the traditional Hakkou-date fermentation process. This deep indigo bath pools beautifully within the chiseled ridges, casting dramatic shadows while coaxing out the oak’s hidden \"tiger-stripe\" figures (Torafu). The crests of the hand-carved ripples catch the light, shimmering like sunbeams breaking through deep water. To protect this delicate union of sculpture and earth, a high-performance ceramic topcoat is applied, shielding the wood while preserving its organic, silken texture for the modern table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct DetailsProduct Name: TSUKI-JIRI WOOD PLATE – Oak \/ Ridged \/ Indigo Dyed (Small)\u003cbr\u003eMaker: Mori Kougei (Tokushima, Japan)\u003cbr\u003eSculptor: Hand-carved by Masahiro Ikawa (Horisho III \/ Ikawa Sculpture)\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (Small \/ Petite Plate): 8 x 100 x 100 mm\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Premium Japanese Oak (Features distinctive Torafu \/ tiger-stripe figure)\u003cbr\u003eFinish:Texture: Chiseled \/ Ridged (Hand-carved ripple pattern)\u003cbr\u003eColor: Natural Indigo Dyed via traditional fermentation (Hakkou-date)\u003cbr\u003eProtection: Ceramic coating (Heat, stain, and UV resistant, ensuring a long-lasting tableware life)\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Handmade in Tokushima, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATELIER JAPAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54199216144725,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/1499\/3749\/files\/IMGP5010.jpg?v=1784170522","url":"https:\/\/atelierjapan.com\/products\/oak-flat-indigo-dyed_small-%e3%82%b3%e3%83%94%e3%83%bc","provider":"ATELIER JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
