Vintage item from the 1960s. Made in Japan by a craftsman in Oita Prefecture using domestic bamboo. This is a very durable item. Over the years, it has aged to a beautiful, calm amber color. The finely split bamboo has been polished and carefully secured, considering the natural color variations. The accent bamboo on both sides and in the middle is called "Toratake" (tiger bamboo). As you continue to use it, the luster will increase, and the amber color will deepen, adding more character. How about enjoying your meals on this refreshing, natural material? Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as evening drinks and tea time. Also suitable as a table center mat. Can also be used under vases, etc. It can be rolled up for storage, so it doesn't take up much space.
