Wooden tableware by Masaaki Saito

The other day I showed you a picture of some wooden spoons, made by the Japanese carpenter/designer/artist Masaaki Saito. 

Here are more examples of his beautiful, handmade tableware. His wooden plates bring me back to 17 century daily life in Sweden (and other places?) before china, metal and glassware was on every man's table. 

I found these images (which I've edited a bit to fit this format) here, 

where there are lots more images of his work and studio.
