About this craft
Kakodate, Akita Prefecture, is the historical center of cherry-bark craftsmanship (sakura-kawa). Mountain cherry bark is traditionally shaped into tea scoops (chashaku) and small goods. The bark's breathability and natural hardening create a tool that improves with age.
Description
Artisan cherry-bark tea scoop from Kakodate, hand-shaped for daily use.
Hand wash only; do not submerge. Wipe dry after use. Store in a dry place. The bark will darken and develop character with daily handling — this is natural patina, not damage. Avoid dishwasher and prolonged moisture.
