manga plates by mika tsutai


combination of plates 1


'manga plates' is the graduate project of mika tsutai studying at the kyoto institute of technology in japan. 
each plate from the collection features various black and white drawings, which take on the personality
of a frame from a manga anime. when food is arranged in a certain way among the plates, an animated visual is created.
by placing these dishes in a particular manner you can transform your dinner table into a story, just like that of a page
from a japanese comic.

I thought I was sick of Manga (if I was ever into it at all), but these are amazing, so effective and actually appropriate for the type of food as well as being entertaining.

These are absolutely awesome. Love the concept of using the plates together with the food to tell a story. It also reminds me of the Tokyo Bar in NYC

These are a delight to the eye. Fantastic styling and photography. Mot only are the plates fantastic fun, but the whole arrangements, backgrounds, food and implements make a beautiful composition.
