《Ameno Tsumugu's Soliloquy》

When I serve sweets to guests on this Yosegi tray, they almost always compliment it.
I often use it for bread and fruit at breakfast, but since I can enjoy various atmospheres depending on the combination of woods and patterns,
I collect several and switch them out depending on my mood.
It also beautifully decorates the space as an object or an accessory tray, so it's very useful.

Material: Natural wood

〈Care for wooden items〉

Wooden items are very vulnerable to water, heat, fire, etc. 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 a long time 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.

Hiroyuki Watanabe
Each of Hiroyuki Watanabe's works, carefully hand-carved, exudes the warmth of wood. "It's like a live music performance," he says.
Like a live performance, he creates his works cherishing the unique lines and textures of the wood that can only be achieved in that moment.
Watanabe's desire to create pieces that "you instinctively reach for in your daily life," works that, in a good way, don't feel intimidating, shines through in every detail.
