Japanese Wooden Carved Kashigata Cake Mold Vtg Sweet Wagashi Mon Crest Kg523
Description
Vintage Japanese Kashigata, Cake and Candy Mold
Japanese
kashigata
are hand-carved wooden molds used to make
higashi
since the Edo period.
Higashi
is a broad category of
wagashi
(traditional Japanese sweets) and is a low-moisture treat made with soybean flour or rice flour, fine sugar, and other ingredients. These materials are packed tightly into
kashigata
molds and dried to create beautiful designs and shapes. Many of these sweets can be found in wagashi shops and grocery stores still today.
This two-panel kashigata mold is carved with the design of a
mon
(crest symbol for a person/group/business/religious sect).
This mold can be used to make sweets or as an eye-catching decorative item.
