Field notes
Guests choose among patterns including peonies and temari balls, maple leaves, pine with Mount Fuji, or bamboo, then select plate size and metallic leaf colors. The homepage describes groups of one to six and about 45 minutes of instruction from the artisan before the making begins. Fujii checks for missed areas, applies a protective finish, and the site says completed plates ship in a paulownia box about two days later.
