Originally priced at 6,666 yen, I'm offering a discount. Please take advantage of this opportunity. Aizu-nuri Lacquerware Individual Plates, Nandina, Nashiji (pear skin) finish, Small Plates, Set of 5, with Black Mojiyaki (Japanese sweets picks), 20 pieces These were displayed in my father's study. I believe they are Aizu-nuri. They are quite old, but I think they are exquisite pieces that convey the meticulous work of the craftsmen. Along with them, I found 'Kashi-yoji' (Japanese sweets picks) to use with Japanese sweets. They are made from natural Kuromoji (spicebush) wood. Kuromoji-yoji are fragrant and elegant Japanese sweets picks (kashi-kiri) made by shaving the young branches of the Kuromoji, a shrub in the Lauraceae family. They have elasticity and strength, and are used with Japanese sweets to enhance their flavor with their aroma. They are highly valued in the tea ceremony and high-end Japanese confectionery stores. The name comes from the black markings on the branches that look like characters. These picks are from Hyotanya, a 100-year-old established shop in Osaka. They are still sold today, with 18 pieces per box for 2,178 yen (including tax) for 6-sun size, but mine are 6-sun size with 20 pieces per box. They are exquisite pieces that allow you to feel the depth of Japanese culture. I will sell them as a set of individual plates and sweets picks. #Aizu-nuri #Lacquerware #Individual plates #Nandina #Nashiji #Small plates #Set of 5 #Black Mojiyaki #20 pieces per box #Father's study #Quite old #Meticulous work of craftsmen #Exquisite piece #Sweets picks #Natural Kuromoji #100 years established #Established shop #Osaka #Hyotanya #6-sun #Japanese culture #Feeling the depth #Exquisite piece #Matcha #The heart of Japan Size Individual plates Width 15.5 cm, Length 11.5 cm, Height 1.0 cm Box Width 17.0 cm, Length 12.5 cm, Height 3.5 cm Black Mojiyaki Width 0.4 cm, Length 18.0 cm, Height 0.4 cm Box Width 5.5 cm, Length 18.5 cm, Height 1.5 cm
