Thank you for viewing! This is Yoshino cedar ran-chu style waribashi (24cm). The shape is designed to be easier to hold than the original ran-chu, with a bulge towards the handle. New, uncolored, unbleached, lightweight, safe and secure. Because it is natural and unbleached, there are individual differences in the grain and color. Beautiful wood grain and a subtle fragrance unique to Yoshino cedar. Ran-chu style, so you can wash and reuse them. Locally produced, Yoshino cedar from the three major beautiful forests, home-based handcraft, SDGs. Manufactured and sold directly, 1st and 2nd grade products, shipped from Nara Yoshino. Thank you very much.
