Cherry
bark work was developed as a craft during the 18th century
in Akita Prefecture, Japan. It is still popular today and
owes it appeal to the humble and natural beauty of the
bark. The natural markings of cherry bark adds a pleasant
appearance and the glossy sheen of the bark lends a touch
of elegance.
Thin layers of bark are carefully culled from wild cherry
trees, and used to create lovely decorative items such as
tea containers and trays. This work is performed by
craftsmen who have years of accumulated experience working
with this natural material.
Cherry bark items are one of the finest Japanese
hand-crafts.
