The small size tray can be used for clips or erasers. The medium size is for name cards or memo papers. And, the large size can be used as a pen or money tray. The upper face of the tray is IHADA-finished, a crude casting surface. The tray gradually changes its color over the course of years due to oxidization. The longer it is used, the richer and subtler it becomes.

It has a long history as a material for arts and crafts or Buddhist altar equipment as its texture is gentle with an elegant luster.
