Origami Shikki Lacquerware Paper Plate

Origami Shikki

Origami Shikki is a lacquered paper plate made from washi, a traditional Japanese paper. The design combines origami folding with the traditional crafts of washi paper and lacquerware. A lacquer coating makes the plate resistant to water and oil, so the plate can be washed with water and detergent and reused many times. The geometric form is folded from a single sheet of paper, which keeps the plate light and allows it to be folded flat for carrying. The washi is produced with the Echizen Hikake technique, giving a surface texture that changes with the angle of the light.
