Animal Design Series Children's Plate

These beautifully crafted Yamanaka Lacquerware children's plates are wonderful additions to the table when enjoying a meal with children. 

These plates come in four different designs of a bunny blowing bubbles, a friendly elephant, a smiling lion, and a happy cat. All the drawings on the plates are hand-drawn with care, giving a simple yet warm expression to all the animal designs.

The material used for these children's plates is Japanese Horse Chestnut, which is light in weight and has exquisite wood grains. The high-quality craftsmanship of Yamanaka Lacquerware's technique of "Suri-urushi" enhances the beauty of the wood grains of these plates. "Suri-urushi" is where multiple layers of raw lacquer are rubbed into a wooden surface to create a transparent shiny coat.

Match these plates with bowls and spoons with the same design to make a cute tableware set for your children or as a gift set. See more cute children's tableware items in our Children's Tableware collection. 

Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen (hot spring) district of Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends the natural elegance of the wood grain with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.

With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka Lacquerware is evolving day by day, incorporating a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
