Vintage Japanese Kashigata Mold Chrysanthemum by VintageFromJapan

Shared by cutejewelry in the Wooden Crafts

Product Description:

With the advent of refrigeration, fresh fish replaced rakugan motifs like the sea bream. Sadly today, making offerings for fortunate and unfortunate events is no longer a common practice. This in turn has lessened rakugan demand although they are still found in tea ceremonies and homes. The decrease in kashigata artisans today has made kashigata carving a dying craft making kashigata itself a sought-after collectible.


*You can use this mold as food mold to cook. Please clean thoroughly before using.

It measures 19.2 cm long x 11 cm wide x 4.5cm tall. Inside it measures 12 cm x 9 cm .
