Bendable tin plates that are delightfully surprising!
You have to try handling these plates at least once. They are made of metal, and yet these fascinating tin plates easily bend with the least amount of force. A mere 0.7 millimeters in thickness, these shape-shifting plates can be bent and used over and over without breaking. Popular with people of all ages, these superb pieces delightfully surprise. Fold them or bend them like paper, or smooth them out to their original form. Turn them into any shape you want, any number of times.

Why do they bend so easily?
This unparallelled product is the result of traditional techniques so sophisticated that only less than ten craftsmen in Japan can make these plates. Tin is flattened and rolled many times, after which a craftsman hammers the tin to minimize deterioration due to bending and stretching. The tin sheet rhythmically hammered by a skilled craftsman contains multiple layers of metal one on top of the other like fibers, which reduce the degree of metal fatigue brought about by bending and stretching.

A design based on falling snow
Picture falling snow on a cloudless day. The design features hammer marks that resemble piles of snow on such a clear day. Because the pattern is made when a craftsman hammers the tin, hammering not only makes the tin stronger from bending and stretching – it also results in a beautiful design. Radiating a faint light, these plates enhance main courses, sides, and desserts of various cuisines. Thin as sheets of paper, they emanate a subtle presence.

Available in 3 sizes – 13cm (5.1inch), 18cm (7inch), and 24cm (9.4inc)
The small 13cm plate is perfect for a dessert, or a side dish, or even individually-portioned food. The larger 18cm and 24cm plates will beautifully hold main dishes or a selection of appetizers. Whatever the size, everyday dishes are elevated, transforming ordinary food into dinner party courses.

As a stylish decorative piece
Aside from food, these versatile plates can also house small accessories, or they can even be used as coasters. Use them in various ways – the possibilities are endless.
