A spectacular set of ten kaiseki trays, entitled Kokushusen tsuma-oshiki – oshiki tray with incised vermilion lines and characteristic tsuma (side) folded design. Working with a plain black lacquered surface the artist has carved a simple, bold geometric design, lacquered in a bright red. Each tray would provide a diner with a set course of the meal – either in individual lacquer containers or with the food placed directly on to the surface. A feast for the senses.
