Kashigata Mould No.1

A beautifully aged antique Kashigata mould traditionally used to make confectionary such as the Higashi small sweet cakes for tea ceremonies or shrine offerings. The 3 ginko leaf design has been skill-fully hand carved in wood and is one of a kind.  A fading craft, Kashigata is a 300 year old tradition making these moulds small works of art.

Two brass hooks have been added making it possible to hang on the wall.

Japanese, Circa 1910-1950, Ginko Wood.

L 25 x W 13,5 x H 2,5cm

Some dents and chips to wood. Good antique condition.
