Usuzumi Round Tray – Oak

Description

I am an Usuzumi Round Oak Tray. It doesn’t take an all-seeing eye to know how much work went into my creation. It’ll take just one meal for you to observe my glory.

Curator’s Notes

With a low profile and rimmed edge, this tray is perfect for serving. The warmth you can sense from the manner in which Ryuji Mitani lacquered the piece, with painterly circular strokes, provides a mesmerizing backdrop for a variety of foods.
