Japanese Walnut Bread Dish

A beautiful Japanese walnut dish handcrafted by Japanese craftsman Taisuke Hirabayashi. Taisuke creates wooden cutlery and tableware in Tokyo, where he works out of his studio named Atelier tree song.

The form is first cut and then shaped by hand using a knife and chisel. These chisel marks are left on the top surface, adding to the aesthetic of the piece and also adding traction for things placed upon it. The piece is then treated with a natural oil.
