Handcrafted Japanese Lacquered Cherry Blossom Wooden Spoon - Elegant Sakura Design for Tea Ceremony, Dessert, and Asian Dining Decor

A chic lacquered spoon by Yatsuyanagi. The handle is made of wild cherry bark work and painted with a golden cherry blossom motif. Although small, the combination of different traditional techniques gives it a sophisticated appearance.

The 21cm(7.9in) size is suitable as a dinner spoon for soups and soupy foods.

The cherry trees used for Akita cherry bark work are mainly wild cherry trees from the Tohoku region, which grow in a harsh climate and are said to be beautiful and durable.

The cherry bark is carefully peeled off from the trunk and left to dry in the shade for a year or two to remove the moisture. Yatsuyanagi is committed to the preservation of sustainable nature and the coexistence and co-prosperity of nature and traditional crafts. They are also actively involved in planting wild cherry trees on fallow land.
