This beautiful tray shaped like an ume flower has an inside and outside finishing using transparent lacquer emphasizing the grain and natural beauty of the wood. The lacquer is applied to a core of Japanese zelkova wood, which is very durable. Thanks to this process this tray is not only good for a day-to-day use but it is also a unique beautiful piece of craft ware.
The Ume flower is one of the most symbolic flowers of Japan.
