The small tableware that dresses a plate: Kutani mamezara, origami-crane rests, lucky-motif dishes — the pieces a table is remembered by.
Mamezara are small Japanese plates (about 10 cm) for a single garnish or condiment; chopstick rests (hashioki) hold the tips of the chopsticks — the smallest, most giftable Japanese tableware.
A single well-chosen small plate lifts a whole course. We keep Kutani-ware mamezara painted in the old palette, folded-crane and seasonal-motif rests, and lucky dishes such as sea-bream (medetai) — affordable enough to buy by the set, distinctive enough to be remembered.
