Wooden plates are carved out of camphor tree hornbeam from Kagoshima Prefecture, and each plate is hand-carved, so no two are alike. Wooden plates are less likely to break than glass and are lightweight, making them ideal for outdoor use. The color and grain expression may vary from piece to piece. Please enjoy natural camphorwood. Camphor tree was designated as the prefectural tree of Kagoshima prefecture in 1970. It is a disease-resistant, evergreen, tall tree that grows in clusters widely in the prefecture. It is also used as an aromatic essential oil, and is effective in repelling insects. It also has both calming and stimulating effects, so it balances the mind. Use it outdoors or at home. Feel the warmth of Kagoshima camphorwood by putting bread, fruit, or anything you like on it. It will continue to become more beautiful as it ages. Please use it. I entrust the completion of this work to “you”.
