On the other side of Takashi Tanaka Metal, which I posted on my blog last time, there is Sasaki Shoten, famous for "Tsuya Fukin".
What I would like to introduce most at this shop is "Sasaki no Tsuya Fukin".
More than 140 years have passed since we started production and sales in 1868.
It looks like a cloth on a yellow towel with a handkerchief size, but it is a special "excellent thing".
Tans tokonoma Different shelf koto shamisen musical instrument, such as ebony ebony aragi work, are lightly wiped to create a surprising shine and feel comfortable.
If you wipe a cast or copper iron instrument with a "tsuyafukin", it will be beautiful with rust prevention action.
There is no need to wash this cloth because it loses its effect when washed.
"Tsuyafukin" uses nature instead of the power of chemistry. ¥1050.
An adult female adult of Ibotaroukaigaramushi, which parasitizes trees such as Ibotanoki and Ratmochi, lays thousands of eggs while making a dark brown round shell of about 1 cm. Male larva hatched around June secrete white wax in twigs around July and grows and wraps twigs in lumps of white wax. It becomes an adult around September, but this white wax is collected and refined, and is used for various industrial and medicinal purposes. "Tsuyafukin" is made by soaking it in a cloth.
It's an expensive pipe.
It reminds me of the scene that appears in old Western paintings.
Even if you don't smoke, if you look at such a lot of pipes, it has each feature and is interesting.
I remember a scene where my father did not particularly like tobacco but had a pipe.
