Black Yamamichi-bon Tray — Cloth-Applied Durable Finish

The Yamamichi-bon is a round lacquered serving tray traditionally used in tea ceremony to present bowls, tools, or sweets to guests. Its deep, matte black finish is layered with a distinctive cloth-applied technique — fine linen pressed into the lacquer before curing — giving the surface a subtle woven texture and quiet strength that pure lacquer alone can't achieve. Delicate reddish undertones show through where the weave catches the light, adding warmth and depth to its otherwise understated design.

Beyond its beauty, this durable processing makes the tray genuinely built for daily use — resistant to scuffs and wear, so it can move gracefully between formal ceremony and everyday serving without losing its character.

A versatile piece, perfect for presenting a chawan and its accessories, serving sweets alongside matcha, or simply as a striking base beneath your tea setting.
