Japanese Kamakura-Bori Wood Carving Lacquered Tray with Bamboo Tree

About the Item

Japanese Rectangular Shape Kamakura-Bori Wood Carving Decorative Plate Bamboo Tree Signed Phyllis. This stunning vintage Japanese serving tea tray from the 1950s is a true treasure. It’s crafted in the Kamakura Bori style, a traditional technique that dates back to Japan's Kamakura period. Kamakura-bori (鎌倉彫) is a form of lacquerware from Kamakura, Japan. It is made by carving patterns in wood, then lacquering it with layers of color. It is then polished. This small Japanese wood lacquer serving tray features a scene of a bamboo tree. Handcrafted in the Kamakura-bori lacquerware tradition, this tray is a unique piece of intricate carved wood. This type of lacquer tray is renowned for its rich depth and durability. The deep red lacquer finish brings out the fine artistry of the piece. Kamakura Bori is revered for its strength and striking appearance, with each piece carved into wood and layered with lacquer to create a rich, sculptural effect. Whether used as a catchall or as a captivating decorative piece, this tray adds a touch of elegance and cultural depth to any space. It's not just a piece of art – it’s a lasting reflection of Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. Dimensions: 10.25 in. x 4.25 in.
