I designed a serving dish from @ColorMeMine in #DowntownBrea in an animé-dramatic panel. To serve California rolls and other dishes with suspense. I borrowed the artwork from a Japanese artist named #Comicalu. 🤓👀🍽 (at Color Me Mine)

These manga-inspired plates are making it fun to play with your food again. Award-winning product designer Mika Tsutai created these plates (or zara) to look like frames straight out of a Japanese comic. They are designed so that when food is carefully positioned just right, it will seem to jump into a story. Always felt like you could hear your salad roaring with laughter? Or wanted to underline the satisfying thwack of your knife chopping up a tonkatsu? These plates bring the illusion to life and manga-inspired products website Comicalu has their specifications . Dishes in the collection are priced at ¥2980 a piece and can be purchased at the Tsutaya entertainment chain in Japan.

Manga Dishes by Mika Tsutai

An iconic manga moment for every dish and occasion.

Canvas Works by Noto Fusai

The canvases are, quite literally, art with a purpose, such as a clock or a letter holder.

Carne Vale by Nami Mizuguchi

A ceramic oven-safe bone that can be used to recreate that nostalgic hunk of meat on a bone. It can, of course, be used for almost anything, like a hunk of bread.
