The M size is just right for a drink and a small sweet, and it pairs beautifully with chanto’s espresso cups. The top is a plain wooden surface of the kind used for chopping boards, so you can cut cheese on it with a knife and wash it thoroughly after serving food. It also looks lovely displaying small interior objects or collectables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4784\/6735\/files\/chanto-26-10-1.webp\" alt=\"chanto urushi multi tray M in green\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts biggest attraction is the choice of ten urushi colours: orange, purple, green, mauve, gray, turquoise blue, yellow, brown, white and pink. Take your time choosing the one that suits the way you will use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eColours only a craftsman can repeat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes chanto stand out is its vivid coloured urushi, shades you rarely see in lacquerware. Coloured lacquer changes subtly with temperature and humidity, so mixing exactly the same colour again and again is one of the hardest things to do. chanto’s craftsman reproduces each complex colour every time; the skill is in what you do not notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEach piece is finished by the workshop; depending on the colour and quantity, it may take about 1–2 weeks to ship.

The skills behind those altars, lacquering, woodworking, gold leaf and carving, first developed to make armour for the Hikone domain. Inoue, an altar maker of more than 100 years, created chanto with designer Takumi Shimamura to bring this craftsmanship into modern life. In the local dialect, “chanto” describes sitting up straight and doing things properly. The brand’s concept is the café: just as cafés have become part of everyday life, chanto hopes urushi lacquerware can become an everyday essential again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 25 × 16 × 1.8 cm (9.8 × 6.3 × 0.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: wood, urushi lacquer (coloured lacquer on the underside and edges)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo special care is needed.
