Rather than being a tea utensil, it is a sweets cutter that started with bamboo material. The simple, thin and sharp shape, the warmth of the old bamboo and the softness of the mouth feel in it, and the finish is comfortable to use as a tool for everyday use. The material is real soot bamboo, which was made by smoking the bamboo that was used in the ceiling of the thatched roof for many years in the smoke of the hearth. It is not a material that can be obtained from new bamboo, but a material that can be obtained from old materials of Japanese houses. It is a very valuable and limited material. Therefore, there are individual differences in spots and color depth. Please see below for more information on individual differences.
