'Obon' handmade Japanese tray in silver-plated brass
Brass has been used in Japanese crafts since the Heian period (years 794-1185).
Our 'Obon' tray is handmade by Japanese Sakami Kogei who creates the tray using a traditional Japanese craft called 'Hera Shibori'.
It is a method where a brass plate is fixed in a mold and rotated while the plate is pressed against the mold with a rod called a spatula. It takes great craftsmanship and experience to know exactly how to angle the spatula and how much force to apply.
Finally, the tray is given a brushed finish by a traditional matting process called 'Metsuke'.
'Obon' is made to be used and the brushed surface only gets more beautiful with daily use.
'Obon' has a fascinatingly simple and functional beauty and is made for serving and for storage and organization in your home.
The tray comes in two sizes and is available in brass or silver-plated brass.
Maintenance:
-
Wipe with a dry soft cloth after use.
-
When the tray is used, the metal will dull over time due to oxidation and sulfur formation. Especially in the areas that are often touched by hands or tools.
-
In Japan, this natural patina is appreciated and the unique texture is called 'Atari'.
-
A Japanese would never polish his metal things, so leave it alone!

The Sakami Kogei workshop in Tokyo is owned by Mr. Sakami, who has been engaged in metal processing for 26 years.
Although he is the founder, Mr. Sakami not strictly speaking the "first generation".
He was born into a family in Kyoto that has lived as metal workers for generations.
As Mr. Sakami says:
“My parents, my siblings, my cousins, my relatives, they all do metalwork.
There's metalwork everywhere you look - it's an ancient craft."
A large part of the production takes place on a heavy lathe, where round metal trays and plates are created. The traditional Japanese craft is called 'Hera Shibori'. It is a method where a sheet of metal is fixed in a mold and rotated while the sheet is pressed against the mold with a rod called a spatula. It takes great craftsmanship and experience to know exactly how to angle the spatula and how much force to put in. Finally, the tray is given a brushed finish by a traditional matting process called 'Metsuke'. 
I allmänhet
Alla produktbilder är riktiga bilder av de specifika produkterna. Vissa bilder har dock lagt till interiörer och omgivningar skapade med hjälp av artificiell intelligens för att skapa atmosfär och sätta produkten i ett sammanhang.
Angående Woodworks
Vi strävar efter att kontinuerligt utöka katalogen så att storlekar och design illustreras bäst i webbshoppen.
Det finns inga bilder på alla varianter och storlekar, så bilden som dyker upp vid val av variant i webshopen speglar i huvudsak endast träslaget – inte nödvändigtvis storlek eller andra variationer i designen.
OBS att vi alltid försöker skapa unika träprodukter med ett spännande visuellt uttryck. Du ska därför ta våra produktbilder som vägledning och inte som en garanti för hur den färdiga produkten ser ut vad gäller årsritningar och färgspel.
