Chōjū-Giga
The Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga (鳥獣人物戯画, lit.: animal-person caricatures) is a set of picture scrolls dating back to the 12th-13th century. They depict anthropomorphic rabbits, monkeys and frogs, among other animals. It is thought that it was also satirical, as monks are made fun of by depicting them as animals. The scrolls are designated as a national treasure in Japan, and are by many credited as the 'first manga' (Japanese comic).
The Chōjū-Giga Switch depicts the famous scene of the frog and rabbit wrestling, as well as a rabbit chasing a thief with a long stick.
Marumon Shonzui
Shonzui (祥瑞, lit.: good omen/auspicious) is a type of Japanese pattern that features auspicious symbols like pine, bamboo and plum blossoms on a larger, geometrical tortoise-shell pattern. Marumon shonzui patterns feature these elements arranged within circles, and are cherished as highly auspicious motifs.
Senmen Chirashi
The opening and closing of a hand fan symbolizes progress and prosperity. The random placement of the fan-shapes with senmen chirashi (扇面散らし, lit.: scattered fan motif) evoke a sense of movement, and symbolize beauty and good fortune within Japanese culture.
About the Switch
V60 brewing is all about freedom. While the Switch uses the V60's dripper design and features, the special base allows you to use it for immersion extraction. The metal ball placed at the base of the dripper blocks water from flowing through, allowing the poured water to stay inside the dripper for 2 minutes. Then, with the push of a button, the coffee flows down into the coffee cup, allowing for easy, even coffee extraction.
You can also create your own Ceramic Immersion Dripper Switch with Switch & Match! The Immersion Dripper Switch is also available in a heatproof glass version (02 and 03 sizes) and the regular black and white or colour ceramic versions.
