These tin mamezara (small plates for placing condiments, small dishes or pickles) are crafted by Sumitani Saburō Shōten, a manufacturer of metal crafts established in 1939 in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. This area is celebrated for its metal casting industry, rooted in bronze craftsmanship that began over 400 years ago. (This sentence is taken from Snow Incense Holder which has been checked.) There are three variations of the mamezara inspired by historical patterns: nejiriume (a depiction of ume, plum blossom with petals overlapping and twisting towards the centre), yukiwa (a delicate motif based on snowflake crystals) and ryōka (a floral design with evenly spaced pointed tips along the edge of the circumference, creating petal-like shapes reminiscent of a blooming flower.)

Wash with a mild detergent using a soft sponge.
Occasional polishing with baking soda to bring out the lustre is recommended.
Not dishwasher or microwave.
Due to low melting point of 232 degrees, do not place near open fire.
Do not place in freezer as it can mutate.
Contact with acid such as vinegar and lemon juice can change the colour of the tin.

Size of yukiwa : W8.2 x D8.2 x H 0.8cm
