Hinawan Set Keyaki is...

• This is a three-piece wooden tableware set — tray, soup bowl, and flat bowl — crafted entirely from Keyaki (Japanese Zelkova) and finished with URUSHI lacquer, designed to bring the gentle, natural resonance of wood to your dining table.

Inspired by the soft sounds of nature — wind threading through the trees, leaves trembling in the light — the Hinawan Set Keyaki was born from a wish to bring that same quiet melody to everyday dining. The name 'kotori,' evoking a delicate, bird-like chime, describes the gentle sound the pieces make as they touch one another: a sound that is possible only because every element of this set is crafted entirely from wood.
Made from Keyaki (Japanese Zelkova), a prized timber celebrated for its rich, flowing grain and warm tonal qualities, each piece is finished with traditional URUSHI lacquer that deepens in beauty with use. The set comprises a round tray, a soup bowl, and a flat bowl — an elegant ensemble that invites a moment of mindful calm with every meal. As a creation of Yamada Heiando, purveyor to the Imperial Household since 1919, this set embodies the belief that the sounds born in daily life can enrich the spirit.
