The PLATE Urushi series by MORI KOUGEI blends veneer and lacquer for a modern take on traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Made in collaboration with “Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi” in Kyoto, the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree has been treasured in Japan for thousands of years for its durability, water resistance, and beautiful lustre.

Their goal was to combine the elegance of urushi lacquer with MORI KOUGEI’s Tsuki-ita method, which uses thin sheets of the finest natural wood, perfectly arranged into a variety of patterns. The PLATE series transforms everyday dining into a truly special experience.
