Red Imperial Chrysanthemum Tatami Pen Tray - Sasasho
Our tatami pen tray is graced with a chrysanthemum pattern, akin to the one used in the Imperial family's crest. This symbol of nobility is reimagined in delightful, approachable colors, adding a casual yet distinguished charm to your desk. It's a design that celebrates tradition with a playful twist, perfect for adding a touch of Japan's esteemed culture to your everyday.
Tatami mats have graced Japanese estates since the Heian period (8th to 12th centuries), signifying wealth among nobles and warriors. Today, they continue to be a staple in Japanese homes and temples, perhaps you've even seen them on your travels. The scent of rush grass from tatami is wonderfully comforting, and their softness is unmatched for rest and relaxation. This has made tatami rooms a cherished feature in even the most modern Japanese homes.
Many have noticed tatami's golden hue, but it begins as a vibrant green, gracefully maturing with sunlight. Our pen tray invites you to savor this natural aging process, bringing a piece of Japanese life to your desk, as the colors and textures gently shift over time.
