The result is a richly textured textile with subtle variations that reflect the hand of the artisan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection captures the curious personalities of cats through whimsical illustrations, from a contented feline at rest to a watchful cat transfixed by a school of fish. Originally sketched from the studio's own family cat, each design brings warmth, humour and a sense of everyday joy to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from durable Chita cotton, woven in Aichi Prefecture, the placemat is ideal for everyday meals, afternoon tea or as a decorative textile beneath a favourite vase or serving tray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade by Takada Katazome Studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional katazome stencil-resist dyeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-dyed in natural indigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Yugawara, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: As each pouch is dyed entirely by hand, slight variations in colour and pattern are a natural characteristic of the traditional katazome process, making every piece unique.Price is per placemat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e25cm×47cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eDesign: Masahiko Takada \u0026amp; Chota Takada\u003cbr\u003eDyeing: Chota Takada\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAKADA KATAZOME","offers":[{"title":"Neko #1","offer_id":44298366910563,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Neko #9","offer_id":44298366943331,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/6150\/9219\/files\/Simply-Native-Indigo-Dyed-Placemat-Cat-1.jpg?v=1785330249","url":"https:\/\/simplynativejapan.com.au\/products\/indigo-dyed-placemat","provider":"Simply Native","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
