ICHIKAWA - Handmade Leaf Coaster - 4 Options

Each piece from Ichikawa Mokko is a testament to the artistry and heritage of three generations of master woodworkers.

Founded in Shizuoka, Japan, the workshop has evolved from crafting traditional "Sashimono" furniture to creating exquisite, functional accessories that showcase the natural beauty of Japanese wood. Their commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in their use of carefully selected, rare materials such as Japanese Zelkova and horse chestnut, often repurposing choice cuts into stunning, unique items. Every product is meticulously handcrafted, combining traditional techniques with a modern sensibility, resulting in elegant pieces that are as durable as they are beautiful. With a dedication to preserving the natural character of each material, Ichikawa Mokko offers timeless designs that bring a touch of Japanese craftsmanship into your home.

Available in four distinct materials—Walnut, Jindai Ash, Shima-Kuwa, and Black Cherry—each piece is a unique work of art, meticulously crafted to highlight the natural beauty and characteristics of the wood.

• Walnut: Renowned for its deep, rich brown hue and intricate grain patterns, Walnut exudes a warm and sophisticated charm. Its strong yet refined texture makes it a popular choice for fine woodwork, offering durability and visual appeal that complements any setting.

• Jindai Ash: An ancient Japanese bog ash, Jindai wood comes from trees naturally buried and preserved in earth for centuries, developing a deep, muted grey tone found in no other timber. Its bold grain and quietly dramatic colouring give each piece a one-of-a-kind character steeped in natural history.

• Shima-Kuwa: A prized Japanese mulberry wood, Shima-Kuwa has long been treasured as one of the finest materials in traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Its lustrous grain and warm golden tone deepen in richness with age, reflecting the rarity and refinement this wood has been prized for since the Edo period.

• Black Cherry: Known for its smooth, fine grain and warm reddish-brown tone, Black Cherry brings a classic elegance to any setting. Its colour deepens beautifully with age, developing a rich lustre that makes it a favourite among fine furniture makers.

The leaf shape of these coasters not only provides an organic, modern aesthetic but also serves as a functional piece that protects your surfaces. Whether you choose the rich depth of Walnut, the rare and storied character of Jindai Ash, the refined luxury of Shima-Kuwa, or the classic warmth of Black Cherry, these coasters are perfect for adding a sophisticated touch to your tea time or table décor.

As every piece has its handmade features, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour, and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
