* 12 coasters with seasonal flowers for each season. Creator’s playfulness blossoms*
These days, the global environment is changing rapidly, and it has become difficult to feel the four seasons of Japan, which used to be spring, summer, fall, and winter.
The blooming cherry blossoms signal the arrival of spring, the sight of dazzling sunflowers bathed in the sun’s rays in the summer will recharge your energy, and the autumn leaves will soothe your soul. Maybe there will come a day when you won’t be able to experience the four seasons that you used to take for granted? When you think about it, it’s a little sad.
This set of 12 coasters was devised by the creator with the desire to create items that allow you to feel the four seasons more easily. * 1 piece per month. Add seasonal color to your life*
Daffodils in January, plums in February, rape blossoms in March…The charm of “Shiki Mitate” is that you can enjoy one pattern for a month and then switch to the next month.
Each piece is carefully designed so that the colors and patterns of the flowers do not overlap as much as possible.
* See all flowers at a glance. Using “kome-kami”, we are particular about the case design*
According to the creator of Shiki no Mitate, “*From the beginning of the project, we had in mind a gift product, and we added some innovation to the case*.”
“When you wrap coasters one on top of the other, you can only see the top design, so we designed the case to be landscape sized so that you can see all the designs at a glance. This way, when displayed in stores, it will be colorful. It’s easy to catch the eye! Also, we paid special attention to the size of the gap in which the coaster would be inserted. We also made repeated adjustments.”
The outer case has “* kome-kami Ukiyo-e White*
” was adopted. The paper was chosen by the creators themselves so that they could contribute even a little to the SDGs.
Furthermore, the surface of the case has a pseudo-embossed finish, giving it a more luxurious finish.
