Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This is a Japanese tray decorated with cherry blossom motifs and made of Akita cherry bark work by Yatsuyanagi. The glossy brown cherry bark has a moist texture and a beautiful shine.
It is just the right size to place a tea set on, giving it a cohesive and beautiful look.
It is also ideal as an interior tray, for example, under a vase of flowers, a photo frame, or a fruit stand.
After use, it can be washed with water using a soft sponge. Wipe off water with a dry cloth.
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.

Maker / Brand
Founded in 1876, Yatsuyanagi continues to preserve the rare art of the traditional cherry bark craft known as kabazaiku. Located in Japan's picturesque Kakunodate region, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, their master artisans blend centuries-old techniques with modern design, meticulously handcrafting each piece to create products that are both functional and beautiful.
From this collection of fine cherry bark crafts, experience the perfect harmony of Japanese tradition and contemporary elegance in your everyday life.
Crafts
Kabazaiku is a craft made in Akita Prefecture, in northern Japan, from the bark of yamazakura, or “Japanese mountain cherry.” The captivating silk or metal-like luster unique to cherry tree bark, combined with its deep color, is used to create pieces of unparalleled beauty. This traditional Japanese craft has a history spanning about 250 years.
