Sugi is the national tree of Japan, often seen lining the path to temples and shrines. Its soft wood lends itself well to light construction and exudes a subtle and fresh fragrance.

The rounded corners on this tray alludes to the traditional technique of Magewappa or steam-bent woodworking, and the bottom is treated with Uzukuri brushes to raise and highlight the hard grains of the cedar wood's surface. Featuring half the size of a traditional hassun-bon used for kaiseki, this tray is perfect for serving tea and putting small items on display.
