Kumiko Craft Tray (L) – Asanoha Pattern | Akita Cedar | Made in Japan Kumiko is a centuries-old Japanese woodworking technique in which thin strips of wood are interlocked without nails, assembled by master craftsmen to a precision of 0.1mm. Each piece reflects a profound understanding of wood grain and natural character — making this tray both a functional item and a collector's piece. The Asanoha Pattern The Asanoha (hemp leaf) motif, derived from a regular hexagon, is one of Japan's most iconic traditional patterns. Revered as sacred since ancient times, hemp symbolizes protection and vitality. Its interlocking triangles carry a deeper meaning — a shield against harm — woven into every corner of this design. Elegant Table Presentation A removable acrylic plate sits atop the Kumiko lattice, treated with waterproof silicone to resist stains from alcohol and seasonings. Pair it with your finest tableware for a gorgeous table setting, or serve food directly on the plate. The plate lifts out easily for washing, keeping the wood pristine.
