Everything You Need to Know About Our Japanese Zen Garden
What comes with the Zen Garden tray?

The tray arrives complete with sand, two koi figures, a golden paper crane, a stone bridge, a stone lantern, a moss ball, and a black pebble, along with a rake for tracing lines through the sand. Every piece is part of the scene described above, so the garden is ready to arrange as soon as it is unpacked.

What size is the tray, and where does it fit?

The tray measures 8.5 x 6.9 x 0.5 in (21.5 x 17.5 x 1.2 cm), framed in black around white sand. Its compact footprint suits a desk, a bedside table, or a reading nook, anywhere a small quiet space is welcome.

What is the tray made of, and how is it cared for?

The tray is built from wood and filled with sand, with the figures resting directly on top. Care mainly means using the included rake to smooth the sand and redraw the curved lines around the koi whenever the pattern is disturbed, which takes only a few minutes. The wood frame and figures can simply be left in place between sessions.

What is the return policy for this item?

A return can be started within 30 days of receiving the order, as long as the tray is unused and still in its original packaging. If the item arrives defective or incorrect, return shipping is covered at no extra cost.

It is a meaningful choice for anyone interested in Japan, interior design or objects that bring more personality to everyday spaces.

Hi, I'm Yuki, founder of

A room changes when one object in it is right. Not a whole Japanese interior, and nothing that needs explaining: one lantern that softens the evening light, one bowl you actually eat from, one print on a wall you walk past every day. I choose every piece myself, and I keep only the ones that still look right after a month of ordinary use.

Every order leaves here wrapped by hand, with a note. If something arrives wrong, write to me and we will put it right.
