Yamanaka Lacquerware
Yamanaka lacquerware traces its origins back to the late 16th century in the mountains of Ishikawa, Japan. Skilled wood-turning artisans first created exquisite vessels from chestnut, cherry, and other native woods. Over time, these craftsmen began coating their work with layers of natural lacquer to protect and enhance the wood’s beauty. The result was a perfect harmony between durability and refinement—tableware that could be used every day yet admired like art. Today, Yamanaka lacquerware remains a beloved symbol of Japanese craftsmanship, bringing warmth and quiet elegance to the modern dining table.
Trays & Tablemats
Artisan trays and tablemats come in round, rectangular, and half moon shapes. Japanese trays are often made of natural wood, lacquered wood, bamboo, or other organic materials. Trays are a regular feature of the traditional ichiju sansai meal or "one soup, three dishes" to hold and organize the meal's small dishes and bowls. They're also used to serve tea, sake, or snacks.
