Traditional craft of Kagawa Prefecture, Sanuki-bori (Sanuki carving). Sanuki Bon, a square wooden tray with carved patterns. This tray, called Sanuki Bon, is made by hand-carving from a single piece of wood. The chisel marks on the surface are unique to each piece, giving them a very rich and expressive appearance. Being an almost square tray (shihō-bon), it can be used in various ways, such as a personal tray or a small dining table, or as a serving tray. The chisel marks on the surface are not too deep, so the dishes placed on it will not wobble, and it is said that they actually provide stability. The scratches and scuffs that occur with use will also become a natural part of the tray's unique character, which you can enjoy. As it is an old item, there are some minor scratches, but it is in relatively good condition considering its age. The luster of the lacquer is still present. Please make your judgment based on the photos. Thank you for viewing.
