Rectangular Lacquerware Serving Tray

This sophisticated serving tray is distinguished by its deep, rich lacquer finish. The fabric-like surface and subtle hints of wood grain add to its elegant and traditional appearance.

Available in two colors: red and black. Lacquered in layers, each tray is polished to show glimpses of the contrasting color underneath. The red tray reveals rustic hints of black, while the black tray contains dawn-like glimmers of red. The balance between the two colors changes over time—a unique aspect of how lacquerware grows more beautiful with every use.

Not only does it serve as an exceptional dining tray, but it can also be used like a placemat. Set this tray with coffee and sweets to create a soothing break, or serve tea with light refreshments. Lightweight yet sturdy, it adds a refined accent to any table.

Designed in collaboration with skilled artisans, this item is available only at MUSUBI KILN.

Yamanaka Lacquerware

Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a kind of lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen district of Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends wood grain's natural elegance 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 incorporates a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
