Octagonal Tray – Byakudan Lacquer

by Yamada Heiando

This refined lacquer tray features a distinctive octagonal form, combining geometric balance with traditional Japanese lacquer artistry.

The tray is finished using the elegant Byakudan-nuri lacquer technique, known for its subtle depth and luminous color. Layers of lacquer are carefully applied to create a deep reddish-brown tone that gradually becomes more vibrant with time and use.

The octagonal shape symbolizes harmony and positive energy in many Asian cultures, making it particularly suitable for celebratory occasions and thoughtful gifts.

Its balanced proportions allow the tray to be used in a variety of ways — from serving tea and sweets to presenting sushi, hors d'oeuvres, or seasonal fruits.

Crafted by Yamada Heiando, a historic lacquerware maker honored as a supplier to the Imperial Household Agency of Japan, this tray represents generations of refined craftsmanship.
