plates
A collaboration that brings one of Japan’s oldest traditions and food culture together, in the form of tableware.
The stunning new plate series brings iconic imagery from the modern-day world of manga and anime to a revered traditional art.
Once again, a popular anime has been turned into a work of traditional Japanese art — with vividly stunning results!
The age of the geek with expendable cash is truly upon us, as many people who grew up on comic books and cartoons are turning into adults with well-paying jobs. There is also a growing population of people in Japan who are forgoing a traditional relationship and instead spending more money on themselves. These burgeoning consumers might be the reason why you will find geek-centric yet sophisticated household items. That way, responsible adults can still revel in their fandoms but still be refined home decorators.
It’s time to get our wallets ready again, since now you can buy Mobile Suit Gudam plates covered in Kanazawa gold leaf.
Most Japanese children have likely been scolded at least once for bringing manga to the dinner table. However, we’ve found a creatively designed set of plates that make comic books an integral part of any meal.
