Reversible Rectangle Hegi-me Yamanaka Lacquerware Placemat
This rectangle-shaped, reversible Yamanaka lacquer placemat is just the right size for placing a meal for one person. The surface has linear unevenness of the recreated pattern of the wood grain, called "Hegi-me," which is made by planing.
There are two sides, black and red, and the black side can be used for chic table settings, while the red side can be used for celebratory settings.
It has a traditional atmosphere but a simple design that goes well with modern dining tables and rooms.

Great size, shape and texture
I’ve been wanting this type of lacquer placemat for a long time. I love the size and shape as it works well with Japanese and other types of dishes. I also like the carved texture and the fact that it has a reverse side in red. The only disappointment is that the black side isn’t black enough for my taste since the red is showing through, making it more of an espresso brown. My order was carefully packed and arrived quickly and safely.
United KingdomJust right
I wanted a place mat to set out my beautiful dishes. I had a smaller one but it wasn’t big enough. This is just the right size. And it has a lovely texture.

PhilippinesBeautiful placemat!
These placemats are beautiful and sturdy indeed! I will be using the black side for ordinary days when we want to enjoy a home-cooked Japanese meal. And the red side for every special meal occasion at home. I can see myself passing on these lacquered placemats onto my daughter someday and expect it to be part of our family’s heritage. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
