This long rectangular tray is made of natural wood by a workshop that is part of the Kagawa lacquerware tradition, a craft that has continued since the late Edo period. The tray is hollowed out of solid horse chestnut wood and finished with the suri-urushi technique, in which lacquer is repeatedly rubbed into the tray and wiped off. The four edges are decorated with chisels called "eguri-nomi," giving the tray a rustic yet elegant appearance. Today, there are only a few wood craftsmen who handle chisels, making this a rare and precious item. This tray is useful not only as a sencha tray, but also as a tray for a set of dishes.
