A set of two large Japanese wild mountain cherry wood plates, handcrafted by craftsmen in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, often said to be the birthplace of Japanese woodworking. A beautiful addition to any table.
They're made from yamazakura, the village's mountain cherry tree, known for its hardness, light tone and glossy finish after polishing. The wood passes carefully through many stages, from drying to shaving and shaping, and each plate's grain makes it truly unique. WDH works with Japanese craftsmen to continue traditional skills, making unique pieces from natural materials to be enjoyed for years to come.
