Traditional Japanese Japanese (stacked boxes) consists of three to five stackable levels, each for the function of presenting specific dishes.
The first level (Ichi No. Jû) welcomes the muffs and sweet dishes, the second level (nor jow) the vinegar dishes and grilling, the third level (San No Jû) being reserved for the mooned or broth dishes.
The word "jû" means both "stacked box" and "multiplied" in Japanese. Stack the boxes so symbolizes the multiplication of the happiness. The Jubako are traditionally black or red lacquered wood, adorned with golden motifs representing pines, cranes or turtles, all symbols of longevity and bliss
The craftsman: Riso porcelain
Our craftsmen founded their workshop in the former residence of Yi San Pyeong, a pioneer of the Porcelain of Arita, Saga Prefecture, Kyushu Island. Mr Shinji Terauci, Current President of the Company, 4second Generation, is the most famous porcelain artist in Japan.
Over time, their flagship products have passed porcelain sculptures to the dishes.
Today, they are looking for contemporary and aesthetic forms based on the ancestral tradition and the techniques they have acquired over the years.
Their commitment: redouble our efforts to launch new challenges to create new products.
The goal of RISO: Aspirate to an inspiring know-how, perfecting their skills day after day.
Their daily questions:
"* Do we really produce products that mark the spirits?
* Do people recognize them as "works of riso" wherever they are?
* Let us create objects we can be proud of the heart? "
Riso porcelain craftsmen create their products by asking these questions and expanding their creative horizons.
Everyone has an ideal image of oneself and its own ambitions. Their mission is to create products that inspire these ambitions.
The Jubako spheres are the result of a collaboration with Ginza Mutsukari as part of an exhibition on New Year's dishes organized at Isetan in Tokyo in Japan.
