Negoro Stripe Round Shaped Tray with Stand

This round Japanese tray with high stand by Yamanaka Lacquerware features a lacquer technique called "Negoro-Nuri", a method of lacquering by which a black lacquer underneath the red lacquer is visible. The more you use it, the more black lacquer you can see, and the more vintage taste you get. The stripe pattern was made by woodturning techniques.

It is the right size to hold a set meal for one person, and can also be set with tea or sake utensils to create a cohesive and beautiful looking. With a high stand, it feels sense of luxury and will be a great eye-catcher on your table.
It also great as a tray for home decorative items such as flower vase, photo frame, and fruits stand.

This traditional tray has a timeless appeal and can be used for a long time in daily life and for entertaining guests. 

Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen (hot spring) district of Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends the natural elegance of the wood grain with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.

With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka Lacquerware is evolving day by day, incorporating a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
