This is a surikogi (wooden pestle) made by "Kaneshin" in Miyajima, Hiroshima, famous for its "shamoji" (rice paddles). Made in Japan, you can use it with peace of mind. The size is a long 36cm in height. It's a set of 2. There's a hole for a string, so you can hang it up for storage. It seems the best length for a surikogi is about twice the diameter of the suribachi (mortar). The item is new and unused, and in very good condition, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details. ⚪ Size: Height 36cm ⚪ Diameter: Approximately 3.6cm ⚪ Material: Natural wood ⚪ Manufacturer: Kaneshin (Hiroshima) ⚪ Country of Origin: Japan
