Keep it long, treasure it long.

Obon, plates, trays. One 3 roles

A wooden tray 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.
The tray has a strong image of being used for raising and lowering tableware, but the KITO wooden tray can be used not only as a tray, but also as a place mat or plate, making it an excellent choice for various kitchen and dining situations. It is an item.

Not only to carry, but as a tray

Three types are available: a gorgeous "ring flower tray" with wide petals, a "snowflake tray" with a snowflake motif, and a "long tree quince tray" in the shape of a long horizontal quince. The flower tray and snow ring tray are made from a hard, strong and reliable zelkova tree, and the long tree gourd tray is made from a chestnut tree, which is characterized by its bright color and extremely high durability.
The size is a size that fits rice bowls, soup bowls, and small bowls that are just right for one person. Since it has a rim, it is easy to carry, and it can be used not only for smart serving and lowering, but also as a tray that makes the dining table look neat and attractive. Also, the Nagaki quince tray is horizontally long, so it's a nice point that chopsticks fit neatly.

The glass paint has excellent water resistance and repels water and oil, so you can place bread or salad directly on it and serve it, or use it as a breakfast plate for various dishes regardless of Japanese or Western style. At one time, a bean dish set with a bite of rice served little by little, and at another time, a relaxing tea time with a kyusu and a teacup, like a companion who enriches the daily dining table. 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.
