“Tacca” in Italian means a gap or a break. [27 folding fan shaped plate] has a rhythmical range of gaps, so it really looks like a Japanese "Sensu" (a folding fan), doesn’t it? Having the "noticeably graceful folding fan" design and being footed, this plate will definitely give a high-end taste to the arranged food dishes and evoke the Japanese essence. Additionally, you could combine three pieces of [27 folding fan shaped plate] in a circle and place a porcelain dipping sauce bowl in the center. Truly recommended for serving Japanese-style main dishes such as grilled fish, Tempura and Sashimi (sliced raw fish). It would be also nice plating western food like cut steak or marinated fish.
