This is a yomogi steaming device with a sleek navy blue cylindrical design, perfect for relaxation. It's sturdy and stable when you sit on it. The white yomogi steaming earthenware pot (pictured) is also included, and both are made of Shigaraki-yaki pottery. I have been using it for herbal steaming. I've used it a few times, and there are no scratches. It will be shipped from Kanagawa Prefecture.
