Flower Coaster Sakura Wood

A beautifully handcrafted sakura (cherry) wood coaster created by Japanese wood artisan Kazunori Koutsuka. Designed with simplicity and warmth, this small wooden plate can be used to serve tea, matcha, or small portion desserts, adding an elegant natural touch to your daily table setting.

Each piece showcases Koutsuka’s signature “Kodachi carving” technique — a meticulous hand-carving process where fine, vertical lines or tree-like motifs are engraved in rhythmic patterns, evoking the quiet beauty of a forest grove. The delicate grooves give the surface both visual depth and a gentle tactile texture.

Because every coaster is handmade, natural variations in color, grain pattern, thickness, and shape are to be expected and celebrated as part of the work’s unique character. Made from genuine Japanese cherry wood (sakura), each piece reflects its own individuality and natural charm.

Over time, the surface develops a soft amber patina, deepening in tone and texture with every use — allowing you to experience its gradual transformation and form a personal connection to the piece.

Perfect for tea time, matcha moments, or daily hospitality, this handcrafted coaster invites the warmth of wood and the spirit of craftsmanship into your everyday life. It also makes a thoughtful gift, showcasing the refined skill and attention to detail of a Japanese master craftsman.
