《 Ameno Tsumugu's Soliloquy 》

Whenever I serve guests snacks on this marquetry tray, I'm almost guaranteed to receive compliments.
I often use it for bread and fruit during breakfast, but since I can enjoy various atmospheres depending on the combination and pattern of the wood,
I've collected several and use them according to my mood.
It's also very useful as an ornament or an accessory holder, brightening up any space.

Material: Natural wood

〈About handling 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 cracking and warping, so please be careful.
When washing, use water or lukewarm water and a sponge.
After washing, immediately remove moisture and wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Like a live performance, he creates his pieces valuing the unique lines and wood grain that can only be achieved at that moment.
Watanabe's desire to create pieces that "you instinctively pick up in your daily life," in a good way, without feeling too formal, shines through in every aspect of his work.
