Fine horizontal lines form cloud-like motifs on the bottom half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded shape has long been regarded as auspicious in Japan, associated with harmony and good fortune. Its flowing outline is formed with few straight lines, while the multiple coats of translucent \u003cem\u003esuki-urushi\u003c\/em\u003e allow the natural wood grain to remain visible beneath the glossy surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clam-shaped design holds a special place in the history of Hida Shunkei lacquerware, as the craft is said to have begun with a tray of this form more than four centuries ago. Still made in the same distinctive shape today, it can be used to serve Japanese sweets, tea, or sake, or as a tray for arranging favorite objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fukuju Shikkiten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48364698075325,"sku":"FUKUJU-011","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260915_scenecut_SUZ.22.jpg?v=1790829147","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/golden-amber-clam-shaped-tray","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
