Keep it long, treasure it long.

This is the shape of Obon

Obi no Kobon Dai, one of the "KITO" series that Aizawa Mokuzai Kogei, a wooden shop in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, has begun to make as an original product. It is a tray that is carefully shaped from a single tree and retains the goodness of the material.
By standing up high on the edge, there is less concern that the tableware placed on it will slip off, and it will firmly fulfill the role of a tray that "carries food to the table."

Not only to carry, but as a tray

Obi saw tray Large is a round, soft and warm tray. It is made by cutting out three large, medium and small trays from one thick solid board with a band saw so as not to waste precious lumber. It can be used in a variety of ways, not only as a carrying tray, but also as a tea time set, cutlery holder, and small daily necessities holder, and can be used in a variety of everyday situations. In addition, you can place it directly on the tray. For baked goods, bread, and other sweets and sandwiches that contain a lot of water and oil, spread them on paper to prevent traces from sticking.

A large obi saw tray made from Tochi no Ki, which is characterized by its hard-to-break properties and fair-skinned bark. It is light and easy to use, and it is durable, which is why it can be used for a long time. Designed to be nested, it can compactly store three sizes. In addition, there are individual differences in the appearance and color of the wood grain, so you can enjoy the texture of the wood as it is.

It's solid wood, so it's difficult to clean it, isn't it? It is easy to think that it is painted with glass, so if you are concerned about dirt, you can use it for a long time with simple care such as wiping it with a cloth that has been wrung out tightly or flushing it with water. In addition, the taste of the material will increase over time. Please feel the fun of growing trees.

The technology that has been inherited

Aizawa Mokuzai Kogei has been handed down the technique for generations as a wooden shop that hollows out wood to make the base of lacquer ware and other vessels. We create products that fully express the beautiful grain, color, and texture of wood, which can only be achieved by craftsmen who know everything about wood. One of the strengths of Aizawa Mokuzai Kogei is that it can develop and introduce large-scale wood drying equipment in-house to stabilize the procurement management and quality of wood materials. Ingenuity because we are dealing with natural materials is condensed in the commercialization.

Bring out the original goodness of wood

Yosawa Mokuzai Kogei was founded in 1948 by Kenji Yosawa. Beginning with an apprenticeship of joinery, after becoming independent as a woodworking shop, he made boxes as a joinery woodworking shop. After that, the number of craftsmen and machines was increased, and it grew into a wooden shop that manufactures songs, magnolia obovata, kurimono, etc. with almighty. We continue to refine the technique of woodworking joints in Wajima lacquer, which is a traditional craft, and have a high technique of handling everything except bowls if it is lacquerware.

While continuing the woodworking business as a subordinate of lacquer ware, I felt that the original charm of the material such as the color and texture of each wood could not be fully conveyed, so all the products have the original charm of wood. Finishing and making that pulls out. Body-friendly wooden products made with the user in mind are such that children and adults can feel at ease just by picking them up.
