Product Description

A chic lacquered dessert 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 14cm(5.5in) size is suitable as a dessert spoon.

Perfect for creating a traditional Japanese atmosphere at the table where Chawanmushi(Japanese steamed egg custard), Tofu, soup, Anmitsu, pudding, ice cream, etc. are served.

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.
