Hexagonal Tray with Legs / White Bamboo / Oita-JPN 121802 大分県/真竹(白竹) 六角盆 足つき 小・大 2サイズ ルイ版
This is a hexagonal tray made from white bamboo.
White bamboo refers to madake bamboo that has been harvested while still green, then boiled and sun-dried to remove its natural oils and color. The process gives the bamboo a soft, warm tone with a faint golden hue.
It is woven with carefully prepared sets of three bamboo strips, creating a unique tray that showcases both the strength of bamboo and the elegant sheen of white bamboo’s surface.
The glossy outer skin of the bamboo is used on the surface, giving it a smooth and silky texture when touched.The pattern is known as “Kikkō-ami” or “Tessen-ami”. The use of broad, triple bamboo strips enhances the beauty of the bamboo skin.Here is the rim. The edge of the bamboo is wrapped with rattan—a material softer and more flexible than bamboo, often used for rim binding in white bamboo work.Seen from above, the hard bamboo has been smoothly bent to form a clean hexagonal shape.Here is the underside. One of the distinctive features of this tray is the three legs attached to the bottom.Each leg is made by bending a bamboo piece and inserting it carefully into the weave.Let’s look at each size in order. This is the small size.When viewed from the side, you can see the small legs protruding slightly beneath the tray.It can be used to serve fruit, tea and sweets, or small appetizers. It also makes a beautiful base for displaying seasonal plants.This is the large size.It is also fitted with the same three legs.Use it to serve bread, side dishes, and yogurt for breakfast. Simply placing your meal on this tray transforms it into a special experience.
The calm, bright tone of white bamboo enhances the colors of food, flowers, and branches, bringing a gentle sense of elegance and freshness to any setting.
Even when placed upright in an entryway as an interior piece, it leaves a pleasant impression each time you glance at it.
After use, if the tray is not heavily soiled, it is fine to simply wipe it with a dry or tightly wrung cloth instead of washing with water.
With its crisp and unforgettable presence, the Hexagonal Tray carries an air of originality and quiet strength.
It fits beautifully in a kitchen, dining room, or as a piece of interior décor in your home or entryway. Please enjoy it in any setting that suits your daily life.
