Cherry Bark Work

Cherry bark work, known as Kabazaiku, is a traditional craft from Kakunodate in Akita Prefecture, northern Japan. It dates back to the late 18th century, when local samurai developed this unique technique using the bark of mountain cherry trees. The bark’s smooth sheen and deep natural color give each piece a warm, elegant finish that grows richer over time. Valued for its strength and ability to regulate humidity, it is ideal for tea canisters, trays, and other daily items. Passed down for more than 250 years, Kabazaiku continues to reflect the refined craftsmanship and quiet beauty of Japan’s northern tradition.

Serveware

Japanese serveware includes serving chopsticks, sauce pourers, tea rests, and cake knives and servers. These pieces are not only functional but can also enhance presentation and support the tableware with their decorative form. High-quality serveware is often collectible and can remain in service for years to come.

FAQ

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
