Ume Tray

by Yamada Heiando

This elegant Ume-shaped tray is crafted by Yamada Heiando, a historic lacquerware maker honored as a supplier to the Imperial Household Agency of Japan.

The tray is designed with the gentle silhouette of a plum blossom (ume), a symbol of elegance and renewal in Japanese culture.

The lacquer surface allows the natural wood grain to softly appear beneath the finish, creating a subtle harmony between natural texture and refined craftsmanship. By layering lacquer over the wood grain, the tray emits a soft and warm glow.

Designed for everyday use, the tray is versatile and suitable for a variety of occasions — from serving small dishes or appetizers to presenting sweets with tea.

A refined lacquerware piece that combines traditional craftsmanship with practical elegance.
