This set of five small square plates brings together traditional Tsugaru Nuri lacquerware craftsmanship with playful, modern charm. Each dish is decorated with the silhouette of a cat captured in a different pose, from grooming to lounging. The subtle black matte finish gives the plates a refined look, while the single red detail on each cat adds a touch of warmth and character.

Handmade by Yasuharu Masukawa in Aomori, Japan, these plates are created using the centuries-old Tsugaru Nuri technique, a lacquerware tradition known for its durability, texture, and unique layered finishes. The natural wood base makes each dish lightweight yet sturdy, offering a balance of practicality and artistry.

These dishes are versatile in use. Their size is ideal for serving small sweets, side dishes, appetizers, or even holding tea snacks. They can also function as decorative trays for jewelry or small keepsakes. Beyond their function, they carry cultural symbolism: cats in Japanese art are seen as protectors of good fortune, safety, and domestic harmony. Displaying them or gifting them carries that meaning forward.

The set arrives in an elegant box, making it a thoughtful gift for cat lovers, collectors of Japanese crafts, or anyone who appreciates functional art. Whether used daily for tea and snacks or reserved for special occasions, these plates connect everyday living with a deeper sense of tradition and playfulness.
