Small Tray, Matte, Kanazawa Paulownia Crafts, Iwamoto Kiyoshi Shoten, Burnt Paulownia Wood, Made in Japan

This "small tray" is crafted by Iwamoto Kiyoshi Shoten, a long-established Kanazawa paulownia wood craftsman, taking advantage of the soft, rustic texture unique to paulownia. The surface of the paulownia wood is toasted and carefully polished to a finish. Incredibly light, it's a versatile tray that complements both Japanese and Western styles. Coffee and chocolate, tea and Japanese sweets, sake and snacks, cafe au lait and cookies. This versatile tray is perfect for anything. Whether you're having friends over, wanting a relaxing break, a light breakfast, or an evening drink, simply placing it on the tray will instantly elevate your sense of luxury. [Kanazawa Paulownia Wood Crafts] This traditional craft originates from Kanazawa, a castle town where the traditional culture of the Kaga Domain, a one-million-koku domain, still thrives. Made from high-quality paulownia wood, the toasted and polished surface creates a soft, warm paulownia surface that develops an amber color and develops a richer flavor with use. It was certified as a traditional craft of Ishikawa Prefecture in 1988. [Iwamoto Kiyoshi Shoten] Founded in 1913 (Taisho 2), this long-established Kanazawa paulownia woodworking store continues to preserve traditional craft techniques while also creating pieces that are in tune with the times.
