Hiroyuki Watanabe Parquet Tray - Regimental Stripe (Kihada/Maple - Glass Paint)

Hiroyuki Watanabe's works evoke the warmth of wood, each piece carefully carved by hand.
Their inviting presence naturally blends into any living space.
These pieces are made using yosegi-zaiku, a mosaic woodworking technique that combines different types of wood to create patterns.
These yosegi trays, crafted to suit modern lifestyles, use only natural wood, showcasing the beauty created by nature.

《Ameno Tsumugu's Soliloquy》

When I serve guests snacks on this yosegi tray, I invariably receive compliments.
I often use it for bread and fruit at breakfast, but since the combination of woods and patterns allows for a variety of atmospheres,
I've collected several and switch them out depending on my mood.
It's also very useful for brightening up a space as an ornament or an accessory holder.

Material: Natural wood

〈Care for wooden items〉

Wooden items are very susceptible to water, heat, and fire. Therefore, their surfaces are protected by a film of lacquer, oil, or beeswax.
Dishwashers and microwaves are very harsh on wood, so please never use them.
Soaking in water for long periods or exposing them to direct sunlight can cause cracks and warping, so please be careful.
When washing, use water or lukewarm water and a sponge.
After washing, immediately remove excess water and wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Hiroyuki Watanabe
Hiroyuki Watanabe's works, each carefully hand-carved, evoke the warmth of wood. "It's like a live performance in music."
Like a live performance, he creates his works valuing the unique lines and wood textures that can only be achieved in that moment.
Watanabe's desire to create pieces that "you instinctively reach for in your daily life," pieces that are, in a good sense, free from tension, comes through in every detail.
