Bring a touch of Japanese craftsmanship to everyday rituals with these hand-dyed katazome coasters by Takada Katazome Studio in Yugawara, Japan. Each coaster is created using katazome, a traditional resist-dyeing technique where intricate patterns are applied with hand-cut stencils before being dyed in rich natural indigo. The result is a beautifully textured piece that celebrates the subtle variations only found in handmade work. The collection features seasonal flora and fauna deeply rooted in Japanese culture—from plum blossoms and bush warblers that herald spring, to fragrant gardenias, woodland bellflowers, and birds amongst ripening pomegranates. Inspired by nature's changing rhythms, these timeless motifs bring quiet beauty to the tea table, desk or dining setting. Designed for everyday use, each coaster is backed with nylon for added durability while retaining the warmth and character of hand-dyed cotton. Whether paired with a favourite tea bowl, coffee cup or sake glass, they offer a simple way to incorporate traditional Japanese craft into daily life.Details Handmade by Takada Katazome Studio Traditional katazome resist-dyeing Hand-dyed in natural indigo 100% cotton face with nylon backing Approx. 11 × 11 cm Made in Yugawara, Japan Sold individually Please note: As each coaster is dyed entirely by hand, slight variations in colour and pattern are part of its unique character and a testament to the handmade process.Price is per coaster11cm×11cmDesign: Masahiko Takada & Chota TakadaDyeing: Chota Takada
