Sayagata Pattern Aluminum and Lacquerware Side Plate

This serving tray is the result of a collaboration between a matte, subdued aluminum tray and a deep, moist Echizen lacquerware tray.

"Sayagata" is one of the auspicious patterns meaning prosperity and longevity of a family. It is a diagonal overlay of the Sanskrit character for Manji (Buddhist cross).

It can be used as a serving tray for appetizers or Japanese sweets. In addition, the lacquer and aluminum trays can be used separately, so they can be used in a wide range of ways to match the atmosphere of your table.

Four round urethane rubbers are attached to the back side of the aluminum plate to prevent slipping, scratches on the table, and to make it easier to lift.

ALART

ALART is a brand created by Marushin Kinzoku Kogyo in 1947, when the company began a new search. The brand pursues the possibilities of aluminum based on the concepts of original ideas that break free from stereotypes, design that enhances the creativity of the user, and creative craftsmanship.

Metalwork has long been prized for its durability and gorgeous appearance. In Japan, bronze swords and harnesses were made from the Yayoi period (10th century BCE–mid-3rd century CE) based on techniques introduced from China and Korea. With the rise of Buddhism, the construction of temples, Buddhist statues, and ritual implements flourished, and metalworking techniques also advanced. Eventually, a wide variety of products such as tea ceremony utensils, Japanese swords, armor, and ornaments came to be manufactured.
