These are square-shaped trays made from walnut bark and akebi vine.

The flat surfaces of walnut bark are combined with the fine strands of akebi vine,
creating a beautiful weaving pattern and balanced design.

It comes in two sizes: Small and Large.

The Small size is perfect as a tray for keys or watches,
or in the kitchen for keeping garlic or other small items.
The Large size can be used to hold fruits, amenities, or accessories with a piece of cloth underneath.

These trays beautifully showcase the natural texture of akebi vine and walnut bark.
Please choose your preferred size.
