This handmade hishaku (柄杓 - water ladle) is made by made in Takayama, Nara in the furo (風炉 - brazier) style, with a smaller cup and an angled cut to the handle
It is made of two pieces of hand-carved bamboo, expertly fitted together with a small amount of glue
Bamboo is sensitive to humidity, and will shrink if the atmosphere is too dry. Bamboo also expands when soaked with hot water, so if the cup and handle are loose when dry, they will swell and become tightly fitted when used.
