"Fubuki" (blowing snow)
The black bark of kouzo and other trees, as well as the thick fiber bonds, are not removed, leaving the texture of the bark as in "fubuki". The raw materials are carefully selected and manufactured with the utmost care and quality. We hope you will feel the long story of how it is made.
