Description
Crafted from cherry wood and finished with walnut oil, this small dish highlights the natural warmth and grain of the wood.
I fell in love with it the moment I saw it in Akira Shoji's workshop. Shaped like a chestnut and small enough to rest in the palm of your hand, it has a quiet charm that is difficult to resist. It showcases the careful handwork of Kyoto woodworker Akira Shoji. Each carving mark reflects the attention and craftsmanship behind the piece, giving it a quiet presence and unique character.
Perfect for holding jewelry, small keepsakes, or serving a sweet treat alongside tea, it is a simple object that brings a sense of warmth and delight to the home

Please note that these pieces are made from natural wood, so each one has its own character. The grain, color, and texture will vary. Because every piece is handcrafted, slight variations in size and shape will occur. These small differences are part of the charm of tools made by hand. Enjoy these natural differences as the individuality of the wood and the beauty of a one-of-a-kind piece.

Care
• If washing is needed, rinse briefly and dry promptly.
• Avoid soaking in water, as prolonged exposure to moisture may cause the wood to warp or crack.
• This piece is finished with walnut oil. If the surface begins to lose its luster over time, apply a small amount of food-safe oil with a soft cloth to restore its sheen.
With regular use and care, the wood will develop a beautiful natural patina over time.
