Offering a "Kokin" (Ancient and Modern) name, a soaked bamboo tea scoop. This is a masterpiece of a soaked bamboo tea scoop, carefully preserved for many years, and is in good condition with no noticeable damage other than extremely minor scratches. The under-shaping was done by Soshu Kagebayashi, a bamboo craftsman, and the inscription and signature are by the former Daitoku-ji Temple, Horyin-ji Temple, Sekio Fukumoto Roshi. Both the tea scoop and the storage bamboo tube come with protective shifuku (tea scoop bags). Size: 18.5 cm Included: Wooden box (with inscription and seal), storage bamboo tube, two shifuku Outer protective paper box (with age-related discoloration and damage) Note: It has been carefully stored, and aside from what is described in the product description, I believe there are no obvious noticeable scratches, but there may be inconspicuous scratches, natural fading, or dents due to aging and storage that may have been overlooked. Please understand this and make use of it. I will upload as many photos as possible, so please make your judgment based on the photos. Basically, this is a used antique item, so please forgive any claims due to minor scratches, dirt, etc., unless there is a major defect that would interfere with use. Also, there may be dirt, writing, stains, and discoloration on the outer box, tags, and other accessories, but I will not make special mention of them, so please understand. In case of any discrepancies between the photos and the description, please give priority to the photos and make your own judgment. (YM5082207)
