Hinoki blade knotted serving tray / Miyabi Urushi Kogei

Hinoki cypress has been an integral part of Japanese life since ancient times. Known for its outstanding durability and resistance to decay, it has been used in some of Japan’s oldest wooden structures, including the historic Horyuji Temple.

This serving tray is crafted from a single piece of domestic hinoki cypress featuring natural knots, which beautifully highlight the grain and texture of the wood. The natural individuality and warmth of hinoki are preserved, giving each tray a unique character. A clear urethane coating protects the surface, making it resistant to moisture and dirt while ensuring easy maintenance.

Perfect for serving sushi, sashimi, tempura, traditional Japanese sweets, and more, this tray complements both the natural aesthetics of modern dining tables and the serene atmosphere of traditional Japanese interiors.

One of hinoki’s most appealing qualities is how it ages—the more it is used, the richer its color and luster become, deepening its beauty over time. Blending elegance with practicality, this tray is ideal for entertaining guests or as a thoughtful, refined gift.
