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 single panel kashigata mold is carved with the design of
tachibina
, an image with a prince and princess together from hina doll sets. This mold can be used to make sweets or as an eye-catching decorative item.
