Description
Design Born from Light and Wood
Every piece of wood tells a story, and in the Rays Tray, that story is told through light. Natural wood veneers are meticulously hand-cut into geometric triangles and arranged radially using Mori Kougei's signature Kōsen-bari technique. The result is a dynamic, living surface that shifts beautifully with every change of angle and ambient light.
A Statement for Any Space
At 44 cm (approx. 17 inches) in diameter, the Round L tray balances commanding scale with minimalist elegance. Its generous proportions give the striking radial pattern room to breathe, making it highly versatile. Use it as an elegant dining tray or serving board at the table, a curated display surface for an entryway or living room, or even a low-profile sculptural accent.
The Geometry of Handcraft
For three generations, Mori Kougei has mastered the art of wood veneer craftsmanship in Tokushima, Japan—elevating high-precision architectural veneering into fine objects for daily life. Each tray is individually handcrafted by an artisan who carefully reads the grain direction and natural angle of every single sliver of wood. It possesses a quiet intensity that mass production simply cannot replicate.
An Authentic Gift
Each tray arrives beautifully presented in a dedicated premium gift box. An exceptional choice for a housewarming gift, wedding present, or a token for design-focused friends—the natural warmth of the wood and the subtle brilliance of Japanese craftsmanship speak for themselves.

About Mori Kougei 森工芸
Master Veneer Craft from Tokushima, Japan
Founded in 1953 in the historic woodworking hub of Tokushima, Japan, Mori Kougei has spent over 70 years perfecting the intricate art of Tsuki-Ita—the application of micro-thin, paper-like slices of natural wood veneer. Now guided by third-generation craftsmanship, the studio treats wood grain not merely as a material, but as a living canvas of natural art.
While wood is inherently beautiful, Mori Kougei elevates it through generations of inherited knowledge. By meticulously reading the character of over 90 wood species, their artisans arrange, piece, and combine varying grains and tones into breathtaking geometric patterns—including their signature radiant Kōsen-bari (sunburst) technique.
At ARJ Los Angeles, we believe that surrounding yourself with natural wood enriches the home, grounding daily life with warmth and quiet luxury. Mori Kougei’s collection of functional art objects—from shifting light-reflective trays to deeply lustrous lacquer plates—brings that timeless serenity directly to your table.
