The trays are Sanuki lacquerware from Kagawa prefecture in Shikoku. They are coated in a warm, brown, translucent lacquer which really brings out the beautiful natural grain of the wood.

Around the maneki neko is written, ‘migi te de okane, hidari te de hito no en.’ (A raised right hand brings luck with money and a raised left hand brings luck with people). The artist’s signature has been carved in the bottom corner. The back of the tray is carved in rough concentric circles.
