Each corner has been filed down multiple times to ensure a smooth year without any sharp edges. I make each one with the wish that the buyer will have much happiness and spend their days peacefully and safely. I have cut out "laughing bamboo" for mini kadomatsu (New Year's pine decorations) from the slender bamboo (Hachiku) in my garden. It is a set of 3 pieces, approximately 20-25cm long. I was able to create laughing bamboo with cuts that look like cats, so please feel free to use them. Also, I'm not sure if I can cut them to look like cats again, so I will be shipping the actual item. ※The third image is what was actually shipped. If you would like me to create new ones, it will take several days, so it will be difficult to ship them on the day of purchase. The items in the images can be shipped immediately. 【Example of how to bundle the 3 laughing bamboo】※See image 4 The 3 laughing bamboo are photographed in a cylindrical glass cup, held together with rubber bands at the top and bottom. The bamboo is oily and slippery, so rubber bands are easier to use than cable ties for bundling. Also, you can use adhesive or masking tape (for easy removal later) to temporarily secure the unseen parts of the 3 pieces before using cable ties. 【About the price】 The production takes several days because it is "all handmade" and "requires time and physical strength." Cutting the bamboo and cutting it diagonally are all done by hand, one by one. After that, I use multiple scissors to cut off the frayed parts, and finally, I use multiple files to finish them. It is especially physically demanding, so I can't cut out many in a day. I do these tasks one by one, while considering the weather, doing daily chores, and packing and shipping to other customers. The price is set considering the effort and time involved, so I would appreciate your understanding. #Kadomatsu #MiniKadomatsu #LaughingBamboo #SlenderBamboo #Madake #Hachiku #Display #NewYearDecoration #TabletopDecoration #CatSpec #TabletopDecoration #Decoration
