Sakura Bark pen tray (Iromuji) #001

We present you this unique pen tray made of Sakura (cherry tree) tree bark.
During the rainy season, after the bark of the cherry tree are softened, the craftsmen would go into the mountains and strip only the bark , then bring them back to their atelier to prepare and process. This is a traditional craft from the northeastern part of Japan. 
The bark of the cherry tree is not painted at all, it is shiny, strong, and luxurious in appearance. The kimono we chose to match with each tray is called iromuji, which is monochromatic and has only small pattern instead of loud, colorful designs.

About kimono:　Kimonos are not worn very often nowadays, most people only wear them on special occasions, which is seldom in modern Japan. Unfortunately, many nice kimonos are left in the wardrobe without a chance to be worn, seen nor appreciated. We are looking for good ways to make use of them and let the public to know how valueable they are. We get kimonos from vendors, at the same time, we are trying to get kimonos from the elder generation of our friends and acquaintances, not only these kimonos are in good quality, they also tell stories and history of earlier Japan culture.

Note: Kimono patterns vary depending on how we obtain such kimonos. As a result, please understand in advance that the pattern might be different from the picture shown on the website. The same pattern of kimono would only have limited amount.
