Handmade 3-go Ohitsu (rice container) This item has been stored at home without being used. I believe it was purchased at Sanshu Asuke Yashiki in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. Although it is unused, there is some rust, so please be aware of this. According to an online search: This is a container with the pleasant, subtle fragrance of Sawara cypress. Using Sawara cypress trees that are 200-300 years old, and employing various types of planes, they make hangiri (wooden rice tubs) and ohitsu. For special containers like celebratory rice chests (iwai-bitsu), they use the traditional "bamboo hoop" (takeno kumitaga). ♫ The item will be shipped with the recipient paying the shipping costs. A phone number is required for shipping, so please provide your phone number via the transaction message after purchase.
