This flat wooden plate is handcrafted by Eifu Kawamata, the 4th generation of Okeei who inherited the manufacturing of the Edo wooden tub since the Meiji era. It is made using a Japanese cypress from Kiso, Nagano Prefecture, which is known for its high water resistance, durability, and antibacterial effects. The size of the plate is ideal for serving wagashi (Japanese sweets) and it can be accompanied by a wagashi fork to complete as a set. Savour your delicious mochi, yokan, or daifuku with these refined utensils, and get ready to be surprised by the lightness and soothing scent of the natural wood.

In 1887, Okeei was founded by Shinemon Kawamata, an artisan of yui-oke in Fukugawa, Tokyo, a town which flourished as a port handling the distribution of lumber. Wooden tubs and rice keepers made by Shinemon had a good reputation as they were well made. Since then, Okeei has faithfully maintained the traditional techniques being the only remaining yui-oke workshop in Tokyo.
