The corner-cut tray, with its four corners cut off, is called a sumikiri tray in Japanese, and is known as an elegant design with a formal image. The red rim accentuates and creates a sense of rhythm.
As shown in the photo, it is the perfect size for a light meal for one person. It also makes a sophisticated table setting when arranged with tea utensils and sake cups.
This finish brings out the color and grain of solid Japanese ash wood. Japanese ash is popular for its natural, light color and beautiful grain that varies in color depth from place to place. It suits natural and simple designs and is often used for furniture with a modern feel.
To clean, hand-wash with a soft sponge, then dry immediately with a damp cloth.

Crafts
Echizen lacquerware originated around the city of Sabae in Fukui Prefecture, in the northern part of Japan. With a history going back more than 1,500 years, it is known for its subdued luster and elegant beauty. It is produced by experienced artisans, each specializing in one step of the production process.
Along with the changing lifestyles of Japanese people and market needs, creators of Echizen lacquerware have developed diversified products and created technology for mass production. Today, more than 80% of the lacquerware for domestic food industry and business use comes from Echizen. This is a region that is not only home to centuries of tradition, but also reinventing itself through innovation.
