Wholesale Rays Tray – Round L / Wooden Veneer Tray

A handcrafted round tray, 17 inches across, bearing the "Rays" pattern — 光線貼り (Kousen-bari) in Japanese — conceived by Kenichi Mori, second-generation craftsman at MORI KOUGEI. Triangles of natural wood veneer are aligned by hand to radiate from the center, revealing a quiet shimmer that shifts as the viewing angle changes. The generous diameter gives the pattern room to breathe — well suited as a centerpiece at home, a gallery display, or a meaningful gift of considerable presence. Six wood variations are offered: – Ebony: deep, near-black, dense. – Ash: light with a long, calm rhythm. – White Ash: bright, clear, fine. – White Sycamore: pale, almost luminous. – Zelkova: a distinctively Japanese hardwood with rich figure. – Indigo-Dyed: deep blue veneer, dyed with natural fermentation indigo native to Tokushima. A note on the makers. MORI KOUGEI began in 1953 with the first generation, Masaichi Mori. The patterns and surfaces of today's product line are shaped through a quiet collaboration between Kenichi Mori — second-generation craftsman and Mokuga artist, who invented the Rays pattern — and his son Hiroyuki Mori, the current director, who systematized the broader design vocabulary the workshop now uses across trays, plates, clocks, and stands. Tokushima itself shapes the work. The region is known both for fine woodcraft, a legacy of the Awa boat builders who turned their skills to furniture and interior work, and for natural fermentation indigo, a centuries-old dye tradition that still informs the deep blue tones in the studio's finishes. Slight variations in grain and tone are part of the natural material. Each tray is unique. Dimensions: Φ440 × 23 mm (approx. 17.3" × 0.9") Finish: Clear protective coating, water-resistant. Care: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking, dishwasher, and high heat. Made in Tokushima, Japan. Every piece of wood tells a story.
