Carved lengthwise from a single piece of chestnut, this long rectangular tray has softly rounded corners. Its simple construction features a shallow raised rim, and the underside is carved out to form a slender foot. The tray’s measured thickness and straight, refined outline extend with quiet elegance.

An ichimonji tray is a long, narrow tray designed to display sencha bowls in a single row. From the Taisho through the Showa periods, makers of sencha utensils often drew on Chinese aesthetic influences while adapting to Japanese domestic life, producing many lightweight, practical wooden wares.

The surface of the chestnut retains fine chisel marks and visible grain; its reddish-brown face has acquired a soft sheen through use. The finish does not seek uniform polishing but preserves the timber’s natural expression, imparting a composed simplicity to its rustic character.

Exhibits wear, scratches, soiling, and small splits in the wood consistent with age. In addition to displaying sencha tea bowls, it can also be used as a tray for arranging incense containers, stationery, or small vessels in a single row.
