Indigo is one of the world’s oldest dyes and holds a special place in Japan’s tradition of aizome, once worn by samurai for protection and luck. Known as “Japan Blue” since the Meiji era, this rich colour lives on through artisans like Naoko and Kota Omae, the couple behind indigo studio OW.
Perfect for hollowing out small spoons and bowls. The oval wooden handle has a great hand feel like all the Michihamono lineup, and the edge is super sharp.
This is a good quality tool, especially for the price!
