Interesting ceramic dish, in which "Itsukushima" Shinto Shrine art appears, when filled with soy sauce.

This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?
I dunno though, maybe the 'trenches' are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

Thanks! Self-killer to be precise. It's an interesting read leading up to that work: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-final-shocking-self-portrait-of-richard-gerstl
For sure, I just hate the waste. You can never get to the dip inside the grooves and if you're in a nice place you're not pouring out of it onto your dish... I mean you can but etiquette and all lol
I bet with an absorbent food like rice balls you could pick up most of the sauce.
Just tip it up like the milk in your cereal bowl.
GAIJIN-SMASH! :D
Hell yeah I can get behind this!! 😂
