Tray: Vintage Hakkebon Tray

The connection between the eight trigrams of the I Ching and Tea can be seen in the use of the hakke-bon in a procedure known as "gyo no gyo daisu". This procedure came from China, and from it the more simple procedures most people use today were derived. The hakke-bon is a black lacquered round tray inlaid with a circular pattern of the eight mother-of-pearl trigrams grouped in what is called the Inner World Arrangement. This item is New.
