Round Tea Tray - Kaaba-zaiku - Traditional Akita Craftsmanship Using Cherry Bark

Akita Prefecture Designated Traditional Craft: Kabazaiku

Kabazaiku, from Kakunodate in Akita Prefecture, which is also designated as a national traditional craft, is said to be a unique bark art form found nowhere else in the world, and its techniques are still passed down today.

Beautiful colors appear when the bark of natural wild cherry trees is shaved. A lustrous sheen like lacquer that shines when polished. Toughness that has been used as a reinforcing material since ancient times. The natural moisture-proof, dry-proof, and antibacterial properties of the bark itself. Kabazaiku, which takes advantage of these characteristics of wild cherry trees, is a masterpiece that becomes more beautiful with use.
