Musubi Mono Golden Maple Leaf Dessert Spoon

The beautiful black lacquer with red hues peeking through already makes this spoon a work of exceptional craftsmanship. The delicate natural pattern of kabazaiku, or cherry bark work graces the handle and is further decorated in an understated momiji (Japanese maple leaves) motif.

The technique used for this spoon is known as tamenuri, which involves a thick base of red lacquer being covered in layers of semi-transparent black lacquer. The red color faintly visible through the black creates a delicate effect.

Kabazaiku utilizes the innate beauty of the texture and pattern of cherry bark and appeals with its organic and quiet essence. The gold accent in the shape of Japanese maple leaves prompts us to appreciate the delicate interplay between materials.

Ideal as a gift or for personal use, this spoon is a wonderful addition to your breakfast, lunch, or dinner table. Its small size and smooth, rounded shape make this a perfect dessert spoon. Puddings, jams, red bean paste, and anything else that your sweet tooth desires will surely taste better when scooped up in this lovely fashion.

Since its establishment in 1876, Yatsuyanagi has been engaged in the manufacture and sale of wild cherry bark work for generations in Kakunodate, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, a place rich in nature. They are a manufacturer that puts their heart and soul into each and every product, using the high technology that has been handed down from generation to generation to create tools for daily life that are both easy to use and beautiful.
