Coaster Made from Japanese Yamasakura Trees

Based in Gifu Prefecture, Nature Ave works with local artisans to create their goods with beauty and utility. These artisans focus on a sleek, modern look for their cookware and tableware using carefully selected materials.

Handmade in Tsukechi Town in Gifu Prefecture, Coaster for a Tea Cup and Many More

Originally designed as "chataku" (tea coasters), these versatile pieces elegantly cradle tea cups, and their utility extends to support any drinkware, small tea pots, and more.

Each coaster is meticulously handmade by local craftsmen from locally-grown Yamasakura (Japanese cherry) wood. Known for its durability, the wood ensures each coaster is resistant to warping and retains its stunning appearance over time. The flat surface presents a clean and sleek look, while the reverse features a raised base, making the coaster less prone to slipping and easy to lift. Whether used as a coaster for tea accessories or as a charming plate for sweets, these coasters bring versatility to your table.

The edges are thoughtfully chamfered, offering a visual softness and a pleasant tactile experience. The coaster also develops character with use, changing its color to deep amber, which is one of the fun features of this adorable coaster has to offer.

Available in round and square shapes.
