Tomogu – Butterfly and Calico Cat

A charming set featuring a coaster and a chopstick rest.

Laser-cut in the traditional yukiwa (snow ring) shape, which symbolizes prosperity, this piece captures a whimsical scene of a calico cat gazing up at a butterfly in flight—beautifully rendered through detailed laser engraving.
The dotted pattern within the clouds draws from same (sharkskin), a traditional dyeing stencil technique, adding a touch of artistry and unexpected modern flair.

The interplay of engraving and cutwork creates a gentle sense of depth and texture.
Finished with a protective urethane coating, the set is water-washable and practical for daily use.

Whether used as a coaster and chopstick rest or displayed as a decorative ornament, it brings a playful and elegant charm to any space.
