Description

The meticulous artistry of Kumiko woodworking from Ominato Bunkichi comes to life in this beautiful coaster from their Wazen series. This Kumiko coaster showcases an intricately crafted hemp leaf design, a symbol of growth and protection against malevolent forces.

Kumiko woodworking is a traditional craft which demands a tremendous amount of precision, as it involves assembling thin wooden pieces entirely by hand without the use of nails or adhesives. The slightest misalignment can compromise its flawless integration, emphasizing the need for exceptional accuracy and masterful craftsmanship.

High-grade Akita cedar, native to Japan, lays a foundation of beauty and durability. The coaster exudes a gentle aroma from the Akita cedar, subtly imbuing your space with the scent of traditional Japanese ambiance.

A standout piece for your daily dining, this coaster is generously sized to accommodate both large glasses and Japanese teacups. The frosted acrylic plate offers an added layer of glimmer to the Kumiko woodwork, and a coat of waterproof silicone prevents any staining to the coaster's surface. Packaged in an elegant black box, this coaster makes for a tasteful gift for those who have an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship.

Nestled in Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture, Ominato Bunkichi Shoten has specialized in traditional Japanese crafts since the early Meiji era (1868-1912). Navigating from its origins in making traditional folding screens and now also offering a range of home decor and tableware items, Ominato Bunkichi skillfully uses the detailed Kumiko woodworking technique to bring fresh, innovative designs to their new items. 

Note: As the acrylic plate is not attached to the Kumiko woodwork frame, secure the coaster with the plate when lifting drinkware or removing from its box.
