Bamboo futaoki for the furo (風炉) season tend to be narrower than those for ro and have the node closer to the top of the piece. The piece is signed with a kao (花押 - seal\/signature) in red ink. Futaoki bearing kao are often signed by important tea masters or Buddhist priests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA futaoki (蓋置 - lid rest) is a small stand used to hold the lid of the kama or for resting the hishaku on. They are typically made of bamboo, ceramic, or metal, and come in a vast array of shapes and styles. While metal and ceramic futaoki can be quite ornate and are considered more formal, the common and basic bamboo types are largely undecorated and are the least formal style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.9cm (1.9in) - width\u003cbr\u003e5.4cm (2.1in) - height\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good (has a crack)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Japanese item ships from the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548317016108,"sku":"US-Z84","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/11GMaURyRROfhQIhKO2Uq7Oj117SRs0G3.jpg?v=1779029420","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-futaoki-bamboo-ladle-and-lid-rest-for-furo-use-hlkxg","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
