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 hand. 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 subtle fragrance unique to Yoshino cedar. Since it is a ran-chu type, it can be washed and used repeatedly. Locally produced, Yoshino cedar from the three major beautiful forests, handmade. Manufactured and sold directly, shipped from Nara Yoshino. Thank you.
