This is a long tray with a hemp leaf pattern made of Kumiko work. Kanuma Kumiko is known as a production center of Kumiko crafts in Japan, and is also known as a production center of hemp leaves, which have been cultivated in the area.
Kumiko is a woodworking technique in which wood is assembled without using nails, and shoji screens and ranma (transoms) with geometric patterns are made using this technique.
With a width of 55 cm (21.7 in), this tray is an eye-catching centerpiece for your table. Small plates and sake cups can be placed on it to create a stylish dining room.
The material used is the fine vertical grain portion of the annual rings of 150-200-year-old logs. Solid Kiso hinoki wood, which is said to be the most suitable for Kumiko work, is used.

Crafts
In Japan, 70% of the land is covered with forests, and there are said to be as many as 200 species of trees, including coniferous trees such as cedar and cypress, and broad-leaved trees such as zelkova, chestnut, and horse chestnut, that are used for construction and woodworking. Japanese wood crafts are made by making the most of the characteristics of the wood from each production area. For example, bamboo crafts in Kyushu, Japanese cypress products in Gifu, and cedar products in Akita are famous.
