Natural material! This is a surikogi stick made from Japanese pepper (sansho) wood from Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture! From felling and drying to cutting the wood, rough shaping, and polishing, each step is carefully handcrafted! Japanese pepper wood has long been said to have detoxifying effects, making it a suitable material for a surikogi stick. The bark-on version is also a wonderful item. Size: Approximately 28.3 cm long, with a tip diameter of approximately 3.5-4 cm. Thank you for viewing.
