This item is a beautifully crafted wooden plate with a hazy moon motif created with gold leaves from Kanazawa.   

This plate is 24 cm (9.4 in) in diameter and is extremely light and easy to hold. The deep black color of the lacquer exquisitely expresses the calmness of a night sky. The delicate and random haze of the full moon is depicted by gilded gold leaves. The sharp silhouette of the moon on the black lacquer will add a modern touch to your dining table. 

It can be used as a main plate to serve chakinzushi as shown in the photo or a plentiful amount of sushi for a small gathering. Japanese confectionery will be given a lovely presentation when served on this plate for a tea party with Japanese tea.

At Hakuichi,  experienced craftsmen stretch out about 2 g (0.07 oz) of gold into a thickness of 1/10,000 of a millimeter and skilled artisans gild the gold leaves onto each plate. Thin gold leaves can be torn in a single touch, but it's the fragility of the gold leaf that creates the mystical impression of a hazy moon.
