About this craft
Hinoki cypress (檜) from Gifu Prefecture is prized in Japan for water resistance and natural aromatics. This spoon follows centuries-old rice-serving tradition; the wood's oils improve durability and patina over decades.
Description
Hand-carved hinoki rice spoon from Gifu, Japan. Naturally durable cypress.
Wipe with warm water and diluted vinegar to remove sticky resin buildup. Air dry. Do not soak. The natural oil in hinoki actually strengthens the wood over time—discoloration and surface marks are normal and desired.
