Natural wood gives a spoon warmth that metal cannot replicate — in the hand, against the lip, in the feeling it brings to a table. This one is made in Japan from quality wood, with the character of the material still present in the surface. Nakashima is based in Oita, Japan. The form is shaped, the surface finished, and the whole object considered as something built to be used rather than displayed. Japanese craft has shaped the way the world thinks about everyday objects, and a piece like this brings that tradition to your own table. Bamboo takes the finish differently along the grain, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed. Material: Natural wood Made in Oita, Japan Artisan: Nakashima Size: 15 cm Because each piece is worked from natural material, slight variations in form and finish are normal.
