Production: Maezawa CraftOur workshop is located in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, a town where traditional crafts thrive. We deliver unique works that maximize the beauty of carefully selected domestic natural wood.NAGOMI plateThe "NAGOMI plate" was born from the desire to "bring the natural beauty of Japanese wood to dining tables around the world." Pursuing an unprecedented, innovative, and modern aesthetic, we have fused wood with transparent resin. This plate combines high design quality with practicality.Pursuit of Beautiful CurvesOvercoming the differing properties of wood and resin, we have achieved smooth and precise curves through unique grinding and polishing techniques. The form, where natural wood and transparent resin are integrated, reflects beautifully, creating a sophisticated luster.Product Usage Precautions* Always serve food on the wooden part. Avoid placing food directly on the resin part; use a sheet or a small dish.* Epoxy resin has a heat resistance of approximately 60-80°C. Placing hot cups or similar items directly on it may cause discoloration or deformation. Always use a coaster or placemat.* Do not use in microwave ovens or conventional ovens. This may cause breakage or deformation.Washing Instructions* Do not use a dishwasher. This may cause breakage.* Resin is sensitive to high temperatures, so do not immerse it in hot water above 40°C.* Avoid prolonged immersion in water.* Do not use a hard sponge or brush on the resin part, as this may cause scratches. Use a soft sponge or cloth.* Avoid strong alkaline or acidic detergents, as they may damage the resin surface. Use a neutral detergent.* Do not use solvent-based cleaners such as alcohol or thinner, as they may damage the surface.Storage Instructions* Store away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity.
