+ OVERVIEW

The bamboo stick is made of fine, compact bamboo, moist and shiny. The woman dressed in a kimono is engraved on the surface of the stick, portrayed with great details. Her garment is depicted with simple but vivid lines, filled with grid-like patterns. After many years of using and playing with, the color of the grip is ruddy, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. It can be seen that the craftsman can use the knife as a pen and one can easily feel the exquisite craftsmanship of the old master.
