“KIMONO TRAY / MEISEN TRAY” is a unique tableware developed by sotansha SADAEMONSHOTEN (8.bit Co., Ltd.) with the aim of upcycling antique kimonos and incorporating the traditional beauty of Japan into everyday life. This product is made using a special technique called “fabric lamination,” which integrates kimono fabric with plastic resin. It is coated with plastic resin, making it suitable for placing food, washable, and heat resistant up to 110°C. Additionally, it is lightweight and resistant to breaking, offering practicality. The surface of the tray retains the texture of the fabric, providing a sense of luxury and warmth, while the back features a playful color scheme inspired by the kimono’s lining. Each tray has a unique pattern due to the cutting of the kimono fabric, allowing you to enjoy a one-of-a-kind design. It was developed with the desire to make kimonos more accessible and to create a product that complements interior decor, allowing people to enjoy them visually. By reusing kimonos, a traditional Japanese heritage, we aim to weave the intangible sentiments of our ancestors from the tangible form of kimonos. We hope that those who love kimonos and Japanese aesthetics, those who have had few opportunities to interact with kimonos due to age or nationality, and those seeking richness and enjoyment in their daily lives will feel the beauty and elegance of Japanese culture through this product.
