Description

This is a serving tray made by Mr. Kiyoteru Morita, a renowned undercoat craftsman of Echizen lacquerware. This tray is a stunning item that can be used to plate sushi and tempura. It can also be used to serve appetizers, main dishes, and desserts, or can be combined with small plates, bowls, and ochoko (sake cups). The ends are slightly curved making the tray easy to hold. 

The soft texture of the Japanese paper applied underneath brings out a new charm of lacquer. It has a matte feel, which is rare for lacquer. The hemp leaf motif beautifully decorates the surface of the tray with its geometrical design and the subtle silver shine adds elegance to the artistry of the tray. 

To clean, wipe it with a wet cloth. It can be quickly rinsed with water, but make sure to wipe it dry thoroughly.

Lacquerware

Japanese lacquerware, also called shikki in Japanese, is a proud handicraft with a long history dating back to 5,000 BCE, and traditional methods are still followed today. Durable, light, antibacterial, and robust enough to endure for more than one hundred years, Japanese lacquerware is not only beautiful, but also highly functional. 

In addition to the fine Japanese lacquerware found in antique and vintage pieces, there is also contemporary Japanese lacquerware suitable for modern life made by artisans who continue to improve their skills and pass on tradition today.
