Once a secondary pursuit for samurai, kabazaiku—the art of cherry bark crafting—has shaped Denshiro’s collections for over 200 years. Based in Kakunodate, a Japanese town famed for its cherry trees, the brand continues to honor this legacy through objects made for daily use, such as this high-edged serving tray, where polished and natural cherry bark meet in perfect harmony. Traditional polishing techniques bring out the bark’s natural depth and luster, creating a surface that seems to glow from within. With time and touch, that glow only deepens.
