Fujin and Raijin Raden Round Tray (Black)

by Yamada Heiando

This striking lacquer tray features the iconic Fujin (Wind God) and Raijin (Thunder God) motifs, two powerful figures from Japanese mythology.

The figures are created using the traditional raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) technique. Thin pieces of shell are carefully cut and applied by hand to the lacquer surface, producing an iridescent glow that shifts beautifully with the light.

The tray’s deep black lacquer provides a dramatic contrast to the luminous shell inlay, enhancing the playful yet refined character of the design.

Each figure is handcrafted by artisans, giving every tray subtle variations in expression and shell pattern.

The design evokes the lively image of Fujin and Raijin playfully moving across the tray’s surface, bringing energy and charm to the piece.

Perfect for serving tea and sweets, desserts, or small dishes, this tray combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a distinctive artistic motif.

Crafted by Yamada Heiando, a historic lacquerware maker honored as a supplier to the Imperial Household Agency of Japan.
