This rectangle tray with handles, created by Yatsuyanagi, is made of cherry bark work from Akita Prefecture and decorated with a cherry blossom motif made of wood bark. The glossy brown cherry bark has a moist texture and a beautiful shine.
The back side has a rough coating to prevent slipping. With a size of 20cm(7.9in)x 43cm(17in), it is ideal for serving a tea/drink set for a group of 2-4 ppl.
The cherry trees used for Akita cherry bark work are mainly wild cherry trees from the Tohoku region, which grow in a harsh climate and are said to be beautiful and durable.
The cherry bark is carefully peeled off from the trunk and left to dry in the shade for a year or two to remove the moisture. Yatsuyanagi is committed to the preservation of sustainable nature and the coexistence and co-prosperity of nature and traditional crafts. They are also actively involved in planting wild cherry trees on fallow land.
