Japanese Patterns Upcycled Teak Wood Coasters - Individual / Set of 4

Our Japanese Patterns Upcycled Teak Wood coasters come with individual pattern. Our makers have obtained the off cut woods from the furniture factories and give these beautiful hard woods an extra purpose.

The patterns on the coaster inspired by the traditional Japanese Patterns and each has a different meaning:

• Wave Crest (Seigaiha) : This design is made of rows of ocean waves forming a fan-shaped pattern. It symbolizes the desire for continued peaceful living, like the tranquil waves.
• Hemp Leaf (Asanoha) symbolises Adulthood. It is connected to the ideas of growth and children's health, since hemp is durable and grows quickly.
• Fletching (Yagasuri): This pattern is based on arrow fletching. It is used as a lucky charm for weddings and other ceremonies, as it is based on the Japanese saying that, once an arrow is fired, it never returns.
• Seven Treasures (Shippo)has a meaning of the unending chain of expansion of harmony and peace.

Each coaster is carefully and delicately laser cut from 5mm thick teak wood and further enhanced by hand sanding to give them a smooth finishing. Each coaster also given an extra coating of oil and wax to give a maximum protection and accentuate finishing.
