Handcrafted Wooden Buckets for Sharpening

These handcrafted timber buckets by Koichi Miyazaki are the perfect sharpening sink for use with Japanese waterstones. Each bucket is handmade from old growth Japanese timber includes a timber sink bridge and held fast with brass straps.

Traditional crafts in Japan are a beautiful but delicate thing. Our business relies on skills that, once plentiful, are increasingly the domain of a group of people that grows smaller (and older) with each season. 

Christian was lucky enough on a trip to Japan in 2020 to meet and spend time with a young craftsperson who has struck out to rediscover a trade, revive it in their own work, and strives to teach and develop these skills in other people. The video attached documents the 10 days Christian spent with Koichi Miyazaki, a young cooper on Goto Island.
