Tochi Sweet Dish | 26cm Diameter | Unique Piece with Beautiful Tochi Grain | Wood Carver's Wooden Ware | No. 21

¥44,000

This is a beautiful Japanese horse chestnut (tochi) sweets plate, crafted from Akita-prefecture tochi wood from the Showa 30s (1955-1964), meticulously dried and finished.

Grown with a natural twist, each piece features unique, wave-like wood grain patterns; no two are exactly alike. Its soft luster reveals various expressions, allowing you to appreciate a different view every time you hold it.

It is finished with a fuki-urushi (wipe-lacquer) technique that highlights the natural wood grain. As a sweets plate for Japanese confectionery or fruit, it will transform your everyday tea time into something special.

Furthermore, the beautiful patterns created by nature make it a wonderful piece for interior decor or art. No matter where it's placed, its striking presence is sure to catch the eye.

No. 21
The large, wavy tochi grain is particularly impressive. When it catches the light, a beautiful, golden luster spreads across the wood.

[Artisan Profile]

Woodturner Yoshizou Nishiwaki
(Member of the Japan Woodturners' Association, Nagano Prefecture Woodcraft Instructor)

Our products begin with my predecessor's search for raw timber. He searched for wood with forest owners in Nagano Prefecture and neighboring prefectures, and the artisan himself felled the trees. There were many years when we prepared several truckloads of fine timber, but over the years, large, aged trees became scarce. Even buying from the market has become quite expensive, so we carefully craft products from the raw timber left to us by my predecessor. I feel a sense of mission to appreciate such precious wood and to bring out its maximum beauty. Woodcraft may seem simple and understated at first glance, but I believe it is a job that can convey the proof that a tree lived for decades, even centuries. By carefully seasoning raw timber for decades, I teach the wood the seasons and determine the timing for product creation with my own hands. Perhaps I hear the voice of the wood, something only those who have worked with wood for many years can know.
