Enjoy the modern and stylish beauty of aluminum with the organic feel of wood. This serving tray is from the ZEN series and expresses the charm of Japanese patterns on the beautiful metallic surface of aluminum. The ends of the tray are crafted in an artful manner with uncoated natural beech wood.
The tray is approximately 38 cm (15 in) in length and can be used to elegantly serve confectionaries or small tea cakes at tea parties. It will also work well as a tray to plate sushi or h'orderves at a dinner party.
The pattern of hemp, a grass that grows quickly and straight, expresses the wish for the health and growth of babies. In Japan, hemp has also been used as a sacred plant in Shinto rituals since ancient times.
Six small rubber feet are attached to the back side of the aluminum tray to prevent slipping, scratches on the table, and for easy handling.

Origin
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.
