My wife and I were given a wedding present, a tray from Japan, with all the information in Japanese. We would like to know what it all says.

どうも ありがとう ございます

All information on the tray is on a leaflet, also in Japanese. I hope these are now the correct way up.

It's too long.

You can get a relatively correct translation of printed documents by using OCR and machine translator.

"ぬりもの"
「漆器」それも"ぬりもの"です。
手で作られた物には、その人の心がにじみ出てくるものです、又、それは使う人の心を和ごませてくれるものでもあります。
ぬりものを人さまに贈ることで、その心優しさや気持を伝へることも出来ます。
私達日本人は千有余年もこのかた、 "ぬりもの"をこよなく愛し、親しんで来ました。 日本人でこそはじめて出来る素晴らしい造形美・格調の高い綺麗な華飾を、ぬりものに見出されます。
"ぬりもの"それこそ、私達日本人の心の故里ではないでしょうか。
私達はぬりもので「心に豊かさを」 「生活に潤いを」をモットーに日毎、まごころをこめて精進しています。
どうかいつまでも大切にご愛用下さい。
"Nurimono"
"Lacquerware" is also "Nurimono".
Things that are made by hand bring out the heart of the person who uses them, and they also soften the hearts of those who use them.
You can also convey their kindness and feelings by giving them as a gift.
For over a thousand years, we Japanese have loved and become familiar with "Nurimono". You can find the wonderful molding beauty and high-class beautiful decoration in the coloring that can only be done by Japanese people.
"Nurimono" is the hometown of our Japanese hearts, isn't it?
We devote ourselves wholeheartedly every day to our mottos, "Enrich your heart" and "Enrich your life" with Nurimono.
Please cherish it forever.


"ぬりもの"の上手な使い方
一、新しいぬりものの匂いは、陽のあたない、風通しの良い所に放置しますと自然にぬけます。
一、ご使用後は湯水に長くつけておかないで柔かい布で水分を完全に拭きとって下さい。又、表面をきずつけますので、たわし、みがき粉等はご使用にならないで下さい。
一、よい艶を長く保つには、いきなり強く拭かずに、柔かい布で塵を払い落してから拭くようにして下さい。
一、変形又は、変色のおそれがありますので直射日光等は避けて保存して下さい。
一、油の滲み出ているものや、指紋等のついた場合は息を吹きかけ、柔かい布か紙で拭いて下さい。
Skillful use of "Nurimono"
1. The smell of new lining will disappear naturally if you leave it in a well-ventilated place away from the sun.
1. After use, do not leave it in hot water for a long time, and wipe off the water completely with a soft cloth. Also, please do not use scrubbers, polishing powder, etc., as they may scratch the surface.
1. In order to keep the good luster for a long time, do not wipe it hard suddenly, but wipe off the dust with a soft cloth before wiping.。
1. Do not store in direct sunlight, etc., as there is a risk of deformation or discoloration.
1. If oil is seeping out or fingerprints are on the surface, blow on it and wipe it off with a soft cloth or paper.



"漆器は日本人の心の故里です"
使って重宝、贈って安心
冠婚、葬祭の御贈答品に
又記念品として
ぬりもの工芸品をどうぞ

〇与(与 inside a circle)本舗 Maru-yo Honpo is the name of the manufacturer, but Maru-yo is a trade mark, and not their real company name. I couldn't find out the company.
 
ありがとうございます

I had tried but the OCR missed characters and others were incorrect. The translations were also evidently incorrect. I have just tried with a couple of other applications but the results were just as poor. Perhaps you know an OCR that works, if so, you could put a link in the forum home page?
 
Toritoribe hasn't been on for a couple months ; summer is his busy season. Hopefully someone else will have some helpful info if you give it a day or two.

He gave you the translation up above. Or are you wanting to translate something new?
 
I just wanted to thank him and let him know I did try OCR before asking and since, just to see if I could get it to work. I could not. People are still better than machines, for the time being.
 
Adding to @Majestics suggestion, my personal favourite is:
You simply paste or upload an image of the text you need converted to raw text and it does it for you. I've used it many times myself after taking pictures of song lyrics, ingredient lists on Korean food items, the Japanese instruction manual to my rice cooker, etc.
Below the input field you have a wealth of options depending on you needs and input format
