A tray to enjoy daily changes

Owl Tray from Sumitani Saburo Shoten, which changes its expression over time while maintaining its elegant appearance. With a unique and innovative design in which the owl's face floats three-dimensionally in the center of the upper surface, this tray can be used for a long time while enjoying the aging of brass.
It's a small size, but it can be used in various ways. It can be used everywhere, such as as an accessory or accessory case that you use every day, and it will be an eye-catching presence just by decorating it as an object.

A combination of brass and a unique design

The brass used is a material that does not rust easily, is hard and has excellent durability, and can be used for a long time. The brilliant brilliance peculiar to metal that is emitted at the beginning of use is also wonderful, but the real pleasure of brass products is that the more you use it, the more it changes to a tasteful color. It can be said that this unpainted tray was made not only as a tool but also to enjoy the aging of brass itself. The way it changes depends on the environment and how it is handled, and as the years go by, it shows a unique look, so you should be naturally attached to it.
In addition, one of the charms is the warm texture that directly conveys the feelings of designers and craftsmen, while being durable enough to be used habitually for a long time. The upper surface has a moderately uneven texture that gives a simple and gentle look, while the mirror-finished back side has a smooth texture that makes it easier to enjoy the profound feeling of the casting.

Owl Tray is based on the motif of an owl, which is said to be an auspicious animal and is said to be "hard". It is also nice to put it on the shoe box at the entrance and use it as a key holder for good luck. It is also said to have the benefit of good luck and prosperous business, so it is recommended to place it on the desk used for work and use it as an accessory case such as sticky notes and seals.

Owl Tray is recommended for people who like roasted and crafted foods. Designed to be used by both men and women, it is ideal for moving celebrations, birthday gifts, Father's Day and Mother's Day gifts. It is a tray that you want to carefully nurture the taste.

Crafts cannot be talked about without materials

Mr. Tadahiro Baba, who worked on the design, worked to popularize the design, such as serving as the chairman of the Japan Craft Association, and has also developed new products in partnership with local industries. With traditional techniques and cutting-edge techniques that are excellent in terms of functionality, we have been working on the design of Nanbu Tekki for a long time, trying to improve the living culture and build new relationships, and many of the works were born in the 1970s. Now remanufactured in the same way as it was then, Baba's unique and modern design matches modern life.
Looking at the edge of this tray, it is distorted and uneven, but I think that is why it is a work that makes you feel the warmth created by human hands more clearly.
