Kashigata Mould No.2

A beautifully aged antique, two piece Kashigata mould traditionally used to make confectionary such as Higashi/small sweet cakes for tea ceremonies or shrine offerings. The matsu or pine frond 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, Cherry Wood.

L 24 x W 10 x H 4,5cm

Some dents and chips to wood. Good antique condition.
