A stone plate designed for serving traditional Japanese sweets.
Created by a skilled stone artisan specializing in traditional Japanese stone lanterns, this piece brings together time-honored craftsmanship and a contemporary sensibility.
Inspired by the interplay of light and shadow cast by stone lanterns, the plate is shaped with soft, flowing curves. While carrying on the spirit of the traditional Japanese meimei-zara—small individual plates used for serving sweets—it highlights the substantial presence of natural stone and the subtle beauty of light and shadow across its surface.
