{"product_id":"rectangular-wipe-lacquer-kaiseki-placemat","title":"Rectangular Wipe-Lacquer Kaiseki Placemat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular placemat tray is sized to hold a complete setting at once, with room for bowls, small dishes, and chopsticks. Made of paulownia wood, it is light enough to lift and carry with the meal still in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis placemat comes in two color variations. The red is created with a technique called \u003cem\u003enegoro\u003c\/em\u003e: black lacquer laid down first, vermilion wiped over it. The wipe-lacquer finish is thin enough that the wood grain and touches of black underneath remain visible. And this lacquer continues to develop as it lives alongside you. Over years of use, the red gradually wears, and the black rises further forward. The balance on the day it arrives is not the balance it keeps.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark-brown placemat is draped in the thicker finish of \u003cem\u003etame-nuri\u003c\/em\u003e. A deep maroon, it reveals subtle shifts of black and red with each change of angle and light. The lacquer becomes more translucent and develops a deeper luster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo placemats cut to the same rectangle, each aging at its own pace. Set the meal down, and let time do the rest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oharabunpeido","offers":[{"title":"Red","offer_id":48381761749181,"sku":"OHR001922","price":203.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown","offer_id":48381769646269,"sku":"OHR001923","price":203.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260908_slider_SUZ.03.jpg?v=1789435528","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/rectangular-wipe-lacquer-kaiseki-placemat","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
