Ancient Red Sun and Moon Echizen Lacquer Pen Tray
This tray, coated with lacquer in a subdued dark red, is adorned with gold and silver leaf. In Japan, the lacquer color that is not a bright red, but rather a slightly darker and more subdued red, is called "Kodai-shu" (Ancient Red). The size is perfect for placing pens, and the leaf at both ends elegantly highlights the pens placed on it.
A characteristic of lacquer is that when you touch the tray, you'll feel a smooth yet slightly moist sensation. This satisfying tactile experience, in addition to its visual appeal, is one of the tray's most lovable features.
Crafted in Fukui Prefecture, adjacent to Ishikawa Prefecture where Wajima City is located, this Echizen lacquerware tray is especially recommended as a resting place for lacquer fountain pens. Just as noble ancestors have enjoyed, the combination of a lacquer pen and a lacquer tray is truly harmonious. Placing this tray on your desk makes the pens and notebooks no longer the only stars.

Discover the Backstory of Korindo
Founded in 1938 in Fukui Prefecture and boasting a history of over 80 years, Korindo has gained recognition for its significant role, including providing ceremonial tableware for the enthronement of Japan's new emperor. "Korindo" is their brand name, formally known as Echizen Lacquerware Co., Ltd., which plays a vital role in inheriting the traditional craft of Echizen lacquerware, a quintessence of Japanese artisanship.
Their corporate philosophy, "Brilliance of Rin to the world," draws inspiration from Rin, a leading school of Japanese art and culture during the medieval era, still influential today. Being close to Kyoto, the capital at the time, has deeply rooted their work in Rin's influence, incorporating its patterns into their lacquerware. Embracing Rin's spirit of freedom, boldness, and challenge, combined with the craftsmanship passed down through generations, they aim to create lacquerware that enriches lives and brings joy.
